if either range is off, then your shot auto-misses and no scatter/template is used.
otherwise, you scatter as per the rules for firing indirectly. (ie: roll 2D6 & pick highest.)

the main reason i see for taking a direct firing bassie is if you're playing on 4x4 table... with the huge minimum range for the bassie's indirect fire, you'll typically need direct line of sight after turn 2 if you want to shoot anything!

cheers!
When did indirect fire change? I really gotta brush up on the rules. Does the FW varients (with the armoured turret) give Basilisks more armour or just make them not open-topped?
