OK,
Since we have agreement on points 1, 3 & 4 and the hand2hand protection for units behind the CoF just might never happen.
I we say for point No.2 it is per the rules and units cannot be targeted.
Then we can take it to a vote and close it off forever.

Can I ask exactly how you want the Karman players to play the km as we keep putting forward suggestions which keep getting knocked back even the information on the at43 forum seems to have been unpalatable to other non karmen players.
I will not be voting on the new variation on point 2

No problem ....though remember votes have to be done face to face...not on this forum.

Play it as written...but i concede the point that the KM should not be attacked in Close Combat through the CoF.

Yeah, I would agree with that.
The CoF rule just doesn't mention close combat in any way, just blocking line of sight through the base of the KM, so we would always have to draw a line from the enemy unit via the KM to the hidden unit, which only needs one model of the unit to be hidden, so u could potentially hide a massive chunk of ur Karman warriors ... a walking shield! That's impressive! BUT, be careful if you use the Shield ability on ur KM, it gets classified as "destroyable terrain elements" (FB Rules - Page 15), which can be "Sabotage!" by field/combat engineers if they work their way round to the front!
It would be a good idea to do a model of some sort for the CoF around the base front , just to show it's active ... eh, Alan  ... go on, u know u want too! Do it, it's bound to look cool! Here's something I Googled on the web ... Wall of Fire! ... flamy orange Curtain of Flame! 
Maybe we could meet this Sunday for a bit to get the last of the inHouse Rules sorted? I plan to detail all the items I would like sorted in one thread ... then we can hopfully get back to playing with everyone knowing where they stand with all the inHouse Rule tweaks!   It's a dream I have!

Since point No. 2 is a sticking point
Would someone else like to have a stab at suggesting how it might work!!!

Hi Banksi ... In regards to close combat, it's not mentioned in the rules, so should have no effect on any hand-2-hand situation, even if the KM is attacked in the rear when the CoF is active. BUT, as another rule tweak, if we say the wall is active around the base, then I would agree that it can't be engaged at the rear in close combat? ... Walts

Hi Banksi ... A clarification of the KM - CoF ...
KM Curtain of Fire rules:
If the curtain of fire has been activated:
1. Any unit that has at least one figure or part of a vehicle behind the Leading Edge(Teknakul Aviation term for front) of the KM wing is protected by the CoF
2. Enemies cannot engage the KM in Close Combat from the rear.
3. Curtain of Flame does not do any damage and is a purely defensive item.
4. As with any vehicle if Shield is used by the KM then those behind the CoF protection can fire as normal. Nice & Simple ... OK? ... Walts "The pain in the ass for rules guy!"

Morning folks
Would the original line not be okay now.
2. Enemies cannot target the units so protected or enter into Hand2hand with any fighter(AT-43 term) through the CoF

I would assume you have to be in an area where a fight's going on Walter for that to work

No
Also once the CoF is up you can't pass through it.

Hi Alan ... I can see that we'll need to disagree on this one and take it to a face-2-face vote.
To be honest, I've changed my mind about conceding the point on any H2H bonus as well. The RULE makes NO mention on ANY H2H bonus. ONLY LoS is effected, however you want to tweak or represent that on the table, so I'm going to stick 100% to what the rule says, for once! There is no wall or template for enemy units to worry about or physically protect the KM or units "within" the curtain. To me, the CoF is a weapon of terror that's fired up to block LoS when needed, that's it.

You know, the main problem we're having with the AT-43 rules in general is we're bringing in rules, ideas and concepts from other wargames and forcing them onto the AT-43 game. We're all guilty of this. The AT-43 rules should only be assessed or questioned on their own merit. Obviously, there's always going to be rules that need CLARIFICATION, but reading things into rules that just aren't there, like H2H bonuses with the CoF and my minefield suggestion, is not the way to go, especially when the new rule tweak doesn't benefit ALL the army's. Even if three of the four armys benefit from a rule tweak, we should not use it. It should be all army's that benefit or none and that should be core to all tweaks ... past & present!

The above is a quote from the other thread about this topic.
I thought i would query it here rather than on the other thread.
I do not understand how an enemy unit can attack a Karman unit through the curtain of flame in close combat ?
(as the CoF only extends around the KM base)

Hi Gents,
Da'Umpire here
I'm working my way to get a ruling on the issue of Curtain of flames and the King Mammoth
To aid me in this could someone give me an idea of how large the base of the King Mammoth is?
Thanks in advance
Da'Umpire
