No. The indirect fire unit is firing and using the spotter’s line of sight. The spotter is passive and not receiving an order, so no requirement for the spotter to test. It’s no different to a pinned officer or medic passively providing a benefit to a unit within their area of effect.

As far as I can tell, the cost of a M/C + sidecar is covered in the cost of upgrading to motorbikes

IE you can put 10 guys on 5 motorbikes or 5 with 5 sidecars or 10 motorbikes… its all the same cost.

Thanks, sorry I forgot to say for use in North Afrika

“…but nowhere, in any of the Army Lists, does it show that I can use a Kradschützen Squad.”

Kradschützen squads are in most of the early war theatre selectors under the 0-4 infantry squads. Example,

vets get pinned when hit by small arms out side of vehicles… pinning also means troops keeping their head down which your’d do even in a half track…. I see no reason why the experiance of troops should alter if they get pins

If LMGs get cheaper for everyone, how would it affect the Slovak national rules?

The only thing I don’t like about MMGs and HMGs is their ability to get sniped off the table. Maybe have at least a Morale check to convert a loader to a shooter vs death?

I feel like @Nat ‘s ruling would work, but why not just make it the same as an injury roll (3+ for inexperienced, 4+ for regular, 5+ for veteran)? It keeps the percentages similar but feels like less of an edge-case rule. One less thing to remember.

That and make transports give the pin to the guys inside of they’re inexperienced, 4+ to pin…[Read more]
