	Enfilade and defilade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In addition, enfilade fire is used to describe gunfire directed against an "enfiladed" unit or position.
		A column of marching troops are enfiladed if fired on from the front such that the gunfire traverses the length of the column.
		The less desirable alternative is to fire from an oblique angle which requires precise aim to hit a target.

	Broadside. Ships and Tactics
		This tactic exposed the lead ship of a column to the broadside fire of the enemy, so this position was usually taken by a 1st rate or three decker.
		This fire policy often crippled the British ships, preventing them from pressing home their attack, but was less deadly to the crew.
		The speed with which the guns were loaded and fired by the Royal Navy gun crews was also higher than the French and Spanish, also a factor in the higher casualty figures for the enemy fleets.

	Admiralty : 4 Firing
		Firing Example 1: A 100-gun ship of the line with a B grade crew and a gun dice profile of 609 is going to fire her nine heavy guns at a target that is 40mm away under full sail.
		Firing Example 2: A 74-gun ship of the line with an F grade crew and a gun dice profile of 022 is going to use her two medium gun dice against a target that is 160mm away under battle sail.
		Passing fire is considered to be simultaneous to all firing which occurs during the Fire phase, and damage inflicted as a result of passing fire only becomes effective at the time all other damage for the turn becomes effective at the conclusion of the Conduct Cannon Fire step.

		It was originally intended for raking fire lines with the teeth and for cutting branches and sod with the sharpened hoe edge.
		Fire Rake (Council Tool): The fire rake with its three tempered steel blades and 5 foot handle has traditionally been preferred to the McLeod in the eastern states.
		The fire rake is lighter than the McLeod and is better for cutting leaves, mulch, small bushes, and debris from trail corridors than it is for shaping tread or backslopes.

	B5W FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Standard, raking, and piercing mode don't have to be announced during fire declaration, but you must announce them when you are rolling to hit (especially piercing mode, since your chance to hit is different).
		Since fire declarations are simultaneous, and have to be written down with the rest of your firing instructions, you'd announce the called shot (and the target) when you announced the rest of your fire.
		The firing player should, when rolling for damage, announce when he is rolling the plasma volley, but can do so at any time in the damage allocation procedure, even after seeing the results of otherwise simultaneous volleys.

	"Danger Space" Formula (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Danger space is the region behind the ship where the projectile hits the water but only after passing through the ship first (which means a direct hit on the ship, in other words).
		Usually the superstructure is ignored as a first approximation and the ship weather deck average height (H) and amidships width (W) is used (assuming broadside-on fire; use ship length (L) for W when studying raking fire).
		D.S. If the projectile is falling straight down (F = 90 degrees), then D.S. is merely W, while if the gun is firing at point-blank range horizontally, F = 0 degrees (approximately), and you simply can't miss as long as you have the bearing correct (D.S. is infinite).
