The invention relates to simulation of effects in a combat environment, wherein personnel, vehicles and buildings are exposed to simulated fire from military weapons. Direct fire and indirect fire are simulated by means of at least one of light rays and radio waves. Effects of attacking fire are registered by means of a target object device, which includes sensors adapted to detect the light rays respective the radio waves and are co-located with the target object (). According to the invention the target object is associated to at least one protecting object located between the simulated fire and the target object if such object exists in the current combat situation. This enables a consideration to various protecting object&#x2014; influence on the simulated fire and the effects on corresponding actual fire. The invention thereby simulates the effects of direct fire and indirect fire in a realistic manner, which in turn provides good chances of an adequate behavior of the training personnel in a corresponding live situation.
