Question regarding when a TAG roll is needed to "paint" a target.
Page 47, under artillery states: ".... When fired indirectly, apply an additional –1 Target Number
modifier if the spotter has the TAG or LTAG special ability..." but does not discussed any requirement to paint the target.
However,
Page 152, under homing rounds: "..., one target unit within 42” of the homing round’s POI must be successfully
“painted” by a unit with target acquisition gear (TAG or LTAG specials)..."
The Semi Guided LRM rules also discussed the need to paint the target.
So, is a painting roll needed for homing and semi-guided rounds but not for standard artillery to receive the TAG benefit?
