v1.00

Area fire is ~~used when a player is~~ aiming for a group of enemies close together, or an area of concealment that is hiding enemy units, with the ~~intention,~~ not to hit any specific individual target, but to hit any target within the area of fire. Example: A rifleman engages a column of enemy infantry, with the intention of putting enough rounds towards the general location that it is likely to wound several enemy combatants. A pilot, receiving an instruction to engage enemy infantry in a treeline, engages in area fire on that treeline. Despite not being able to see individual targets, the pilot knows they are there, and puts enough fire down in that area that it is likely to cause casualties.
