Defense values in woods, etc. WDS Napoleonics

[tobruck41]

Hello,

Just a quick question.  The rules really don't specify.  If you are in woods, or a chateau, etc, and the defense value is whatever, such as 30% in the woods,

does this apply to both fire and melee, or just fire?

Thanks!

It does always apply to fire. For melee you have to set the option 'Melee Terrain Modifiers'.

Interesting.  I always set that optiion, but didn't know where terrain lists 30% effect or whatever is dependent on that setting.

Thanks
