What are the rules for hitting a hex with Thunder LRMs?

Too sad that we don't get anything for "immobile target".

Are we SURE that we don't? Not only is it "immobile", but it is 33 meters across....should be pretty darned easy to hit.

I always liked the fun of targetting a specific hex only too have the mech standing there move to the nex hex over. Only to have the Thunder miss and by the scatter rules hit the hex where that mech moved to. Now that is what I call indirect fire.

We're sure...you don't get the (-4) aiming at hexes.

How about the hex you're standing in?
That's gotta be really hard to miss.

Weapon ranges begin at "1" so you can't hit anything in your own hex.

Except that infantry can... Both foot and BA can attack things in their own hex. Foot infantry even get a bonus to hit.
Hexes not being "immobile" may have something to do with game balance, but I haven't studied it.

If you look carefully, there's a range "0" for those units that doesn't exist for mechs and vehicles.

Official "convention-type" events aside, I always ignore that rule. Something that is 10-20 meters directly in front of me should not be impossible to hit.

Page 63, rBMR:
"All attcks made by units in the same hex as the battle armor are considered to be at a Range of 1."
So despite the fact they are in the same hex they are considered 1 hex apart for fire resolution.
