Range Weapons

"Range Weapon" is the attribute assigned to units (or to be more exact: assigned to the weapons of some units) denoting the fact that these units do not move during a fire or attack order but can none the less suffer damage during these attacks. 

A good example for a range weapon is the "B-52 Stratofortress" in the "Panama" scenario. Although the unit can be moved in order to reposition it at a different airport, it never moves during a bombing run. 

When the player assigns a target for a bombing run, he/she simply designates the square which will be bombed but does not need to move the unit to do that. (For gaming purposes, we are therefore assuming that the unit lifts off and lands within one turn, always returning to the same airfield form which it departed.)

None the less, these units can suffer damage or even be lost during a bombing run (see Air Defenses).
