I do not feel like having to dig through tons of cow poo to find out. Did Jervis ever make a final call on the whole Pop-Up Attack issue?
Or did he leave it in the "No One is Happy" mess it was in a while ago.

Hmmm ... I'm not sure ... we just will do it the old way ... unit "pops up", shoots ... one unit on First Fire/Over Watch - "snap-fires" ... surviving "pop ups" go back down under cover. End that unit's activation ...

Thats the sort of modification NetEpic did, using the old AT rule.

There were tons of angry exchanges, but I never saw a solution offered that was better then the rule L4 just outlined.

Hi!
I dont think one exsists. We tried many and kept on coming back to the original AT rules.
As L4 says, if it works why fix it?

I and many others ask that very question when JJ posted he wanted to change it.
Seems he does not like it. All I saw he did was open the forum to a ton of posts arguing one odd answer or another. Some of the offered solutions were out right stupid.

The "Pop-up" rule we use is simple, based on SM2. ?As it simulates a helo-gunship (Apache, Cobra, etc.,) hovering behind cover, poping-up, firing, and going back under cover. ?Been there, ?did that ! ?Too many guys don't get "reality-centric" rules and are off in the Ether, with comic book ideas. ?Many of Jervis's ideas for E:A are based on reality ! He quotes history, ?real world military concepts, etc., throughout the the on line formation of the E:A rules ... ? ? ?Bravo, old boy !
