How exactly is direct fire performed? I have played the Market Garden scenario several times as both Allies and German vs AI and have yet to figure this out. It seems the only combat option I am given is close assault. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's a quick summary:

- Target has to be in a DF allowed type of terrain (typically open/clear/desert/farmland).
- Firing unit has to be two hexes away (if in the hex next to target you always get close combat).
- No enemy units can be inbetween.
- Target cannot be dug in (no DF allowed if target unit is dug in).

Here's an example of how this works:
