Hi

Can I shot below the minimum range if it's a direct shot, with line of sigh ?

Cheers !

Yes

"direct shot"?

On what page of the rulebook does it use this phrase?

Last I checked, units with weapons with the barrage rule use the rules for barrage weapons. I don't see anything in those rules that refers to modes of fire.

Direct shot, I mean with LOS, can a Basilisk fire below is minimum of 36, even if it have the barrage rule.

What do the barrage rules say about minimum ranges?

Yes you can fire within the minimum range of the basilisk

but if you look on pg 34,
"barrage weapons can fire indirectly. this means they can fire at a unit that they do not have line of sight to and/or

a target that is within the weapon's minimum range (if it has one)

when firing indirectly, the ballistic skill of the firer is not subtracted"



so yes, you can fire a barrage weapon indirectly, or directly and both fire methods follow the barrage rules,
indirect you just dont get to - BS from scatter

Thank you Easysauce, this was clear from my point of you, but I wanted to have some other opinions

cheers !
