The way the game works, smoke can be "fired" if ammo is available out to the maximum range of the farther firing weapon IIRC. This means the weapon firing the smoke might actually be the SMG as the game sees it, since smoke is not specific ammo for any specific weapon.

Not really an error or a bug so much as a game limitation because of how smoke ammo is treated.

Actually, infantry can only throw smoke one hex - that class had been missed in the IF statement. Bug. Fixed.

Good to know. Is how I'm thinking still the way things work for vehicles? Or is that still limited to the weapon in slot 1?

What Andy was referring to was a bug that allowed one infantry class to toss smoke further than one hex. I have no idea what you are referring to at all.

I was always under the impression that the way smoke worked in game revolved around the maxium range of the long firing weapon a unit had. That is, if a unit has smoke ammo, and a weapon that has range of X, then it can fire smoke ammo out to X distance.

I'm starting to remember details of it being limited to certain classes of weapons now though, but now I'm thuroughly confused. So all infantry unit classes are limited to throwing smoke to a distance of one hex? What about Inf-AT/Inf-RR type units? Same deal?
