Note:
Zone Violation, uses detailed calculation of detonation. If detonation takes place outside or at the border of a fire zone and the damage intersects within a zoned area, it is a violation.

Upon selecting the ’Allow’ radio button the grid locations within the Battlespace management zones can be used in call for fire missions, whereas when the ’Disallow‘ button is selected VBS3Fires will give an error in the radio log saying that ’Fire Platform 1 Restricted / No Fire Zone Violation‘.

If the “Prompt User” button is selected, target locations within zones could be fired at with the user preference. When grid locations within the zones are entered VBS3Fires will prompt the user with a dialog box requesting whether the fire mission should take place although it is targeted through a No Fire Zone.

If the user clicks ’YES’ the fire mission will take place, but if the user clicks ’NO’ the fire mission will end after giving an error for fire zone violation in the Radio Log.
However when a fired ammunition round passes through a Battlespace management zone it creates a record in the Battlespace violation log. The fire zone violation log checks whether the projectile path goes through the fire zone walls and/or whether the blast radius of a round intersects the fire zone walls. This can be found in the following location Battlespace Management > Violation Log
This window will show records of each bullet which passed through the Battlespace management zone and will also provide information such as the violated time, fired unit, fired gun, and whether it is selected to save in an AAR.
