My friend insists that the bret treb can see over his units to fire. I know stone throwers can indirect fire but he is under the impression that it can actually see straight over his men, even the kinghts!, and fire normally just because it is big.
I thought that you traced warmachines LOS from the crew and not the weapon. So who's right.?

From the cross piece of the weapon I thought, similar to a cannon.

Yeah, from the crossbeam, never from the crew.

Cool thanks, both our arguments made sense so I wasn't sure who was correct. So if you make the war machine taller, by basing or positioning you gain better LOS then? Won't do it just wondering.

Basing it higher is known as Modelling for Advantage and is a no-no. Same with building it taller.

Thought so. Thanks again, not that i will do it. Even if i wanted to base my ranged units higher i probably couldn't be bothered.

Just deploy on a hill when possible
