SMOKE

The game master must determine which way the wind is blowing. He may do this by whim, or design, or by chance. This will be important if there is smoke in the game.

SMOKE GRENADES

A smoke grenade is prepared and thrown exactly like a regular grenade. When it goes off a small puff of white smoke is generated.

• On the next card (no matter which side) a 4" long stream of white smoke moves downwind from that point.
• On the second card the stream grows to 8' long.
• On the third card the stream grows to 12" long.
• It remains 12' long for 4 cards.
• After that it dwindles to 4" long for one card and then vanishes.

The smoke is higher than a standing man. All fire through smoke is blind fire. Elevated positions (second floors and above) may be able to see over the smoke. If the men in the elevated position are looking at a target more than 12" past the smoke, there is a chance they can see clearly. Roll a DI00: 1-50 target obscured, 51+ target can be seen and fired at with a -20 fire modifier.

OTHER SMOKE

Burning buildings or vehicles will cause a stream of black smoke, which extends 12" downwind of the fire. It starts on the turn after the fire begins and lasts for the remainder of the game. Fire through this smoke is blind fire. This smoke cannot be fired over. Such fires cannot be put out unless the game master makes a special rule.
