Targeting modes
In USC, each attack/fire mode has a property called targeting mode. Because the game is basically played on a board of square grids, determining the line of sight/fire can be done in different ways, plus some weapons obviously have even more special abilities. There are five distinct targeting modes that give further variety to strategic choices when speaking of weapons. Please kindly note that USC is basically a strategic board game, thus some rules are simply not “realistic”, but serve gameplay balance/strategic purposes!
On the figures – green: line of fire; red: valid target; blue: blocked line of fire; white: no line of fire.
Star
Star is the most simple and common targeting mode. It means a <em>flat line of fire in all 8 main directions</em> (hence it's called “star”). Any other grid is not targetable; you will have to move to get such a target in line. The line of fire is blocked by any unit or object.
