I was playing a game and had a modifier of 100. I began to wonder if I could even harm the enemy if they had a modifier of 100%.....
I can confirm that it is possible to have a Fire Modifier of -100%. In Overland if you have Trenches and Breastworks in the same clear hex you cannot hurt an enemy unit unless you can get a Flank/Rear or Column modifier. Trenches are -50% for Fire and Breastworks are -50% for all Combat giving a net result of -100%.
During the recently completed Overland Campaign Scenario game I found we were doing no damage with 6 gun batteries at close range so I set up a test scenario placing units in various terrain with breastworks and trenches. I discovered that Fire Modifiers are cumulative, you can actually have a modifier of over -100%, placing trenches and breastworks in a Forest hex resulted in a Fire Modifier of -140% making it impossible to do any damage to a unit in such a hex from Fire.
