The answer is in the summery of concepts on Page 2: "Direct and Bombardment Fire: The firing player indicates the target hex, adds up the fire strength of the firing units..."

Note it says target hex not hexes.

I'll see your Page 2, and raise you a 9.4 Bombardment fire PROCEDURE
"For each hex being bombarded, the active player totals the bombardment fire strengths of all units bombarding the hex. He then finds the column on the Bombardment Table which either equals or does not exceed the total fire value of all units bombarding that hex this segment, and applies any column modifiers (7.5). He then rolls two dice and cross-references the result with the column arrived at, and applies the combat results (if any) to ALL units in the target hex."

I does not say "For the target hex" or for the singular attack....it says FOR EACH HEX by the current ACTIVE PLAYER.....

I am not pleased by it either---meaning we've missed or misunderstood a mechanic?? that is pretty vital...
and the new "perspective" holds up to scrutiny as well within the context of the remainder of the rules...
Perhaps we just have read/understood it incorrectly???

I'm asking as I cannot find something in the rules that says ONLY ONE HEX MAY BE ATTACKED in a Bombardment Activation....anyone??
