Line 15:
* In the ''Star Fleet Battles'' [[Tabletop Game]], the ISC's Plasmatic Pulsar Device divides its damage over several shield sections, affecting each equally.
* These are ubiquitous in wargames, where area of effect determines what pieces are hit by artillery shells, spells, and similar attacks. Sometimes, the distance from a certain point on the table is measured instead to see if something is affected. ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' have several round plastic templates and two "flame blast" templates (dragon breath, flamethrowers, "napalm," etc). [[Flames Of War]] uses a similar plastic piece for representing bombardment.
* ''[[Paranoia (game)|Paranoia]]'' sees fit to warn about these in the "Tips for Traitors" section: "Never let the guy with the area-of-effect weapon take far left or right flank. The temptation to turn and wipe out the rest of the team in one go is just too much."
