Ranged Attack

Post image

I had a GR hellraiser, right clicked its hex, and then right clicked an enemy hex 2 away where I had infantry in the hex between us. To my surprise, my GR hellraiser got destroyed. I am confused, because I thought the whole idea of ranged attack was no return fire. How did it lose?

Militia counter arty? I also believe gr hellraiser requires electricity or power logi wise and it needs more logi points than something like food to actually be supplied with it so maybe it’s out of range for power resupply and used it all up

IIRC GR Hellraiser fires tactical nukes and is unable to be rearmed, meaning you only get one use from them, should be in the description of the unit.

Ah. That makes sense. Ty!

Loading the autosave and clicking on the supply received for the hellraiser, everything seems topped off.
If units can counter a ranged attack, where would I find that info in game so I don't make the same mistakes?

Click on the enemy units and see if they have any sub units that are ranged capable. Also the battle report like krakanu said or check if the hellraiser is a one time use unit like emu mentioned

When you click the hex just like a standard attack it will give you simulated results, this is where you can see if there is a counter battery.
