Getting into close combat

[Sydney_Freedberg]

You need a GM. The third option is completely dependent on the color of the situation. If it makes sense, it can happen. I didn’t want situations where two units were out of position in, say, a hallway, and they couldn’t close assault each other.

Actually, in another thread, Luke gave an even better answer to this question:

@abzu

Draw two positions on the map, say a wall and a hill. The hill is 2P, 1C, the wall is 1P, 1C. The hill on the left and the wall on the right. Draw a field in between. The field is no man’s land and the positions are adjacent to one and another.

I.e. there is a distinct “no man’s land” area implicit between any two positions (or possibly in between a whole bunch of positions if the map is drawn that way). So marking these no-man’s-land areas is simply another step in the tactical sketching at the start of Firefight.
