My objection to spotter holding taking something is economic. A 50 point mortar and 10 point spotter would be able to take 2 objectives.

That doesn’t seem quite right .

[Nick]

Thanks all.

I didn’t have Empire in flames so didn’t see that.

[Nick]

Thanks. We do not have that book so don’t play those scenarios. Thanks for quick response.

In armies of Soviet Union lend lease shows only way to get a M3 scout car is under the Armor car section. The M3 in  armor car section shows it to be unable to carry passengers. Easy Army shows them in Transport section but how did they get there. Do they show up in another book I don’t have

Thanks

I don’t know about railings and movement. What I know is I would not want to be a driver or 50 cal gunner with 2 30 cal gunners shooting thru front arc. I also would not want to be a side gunner when the other side gunner has climbed over railing ,holding onto weapon and shooting thru my arc.  It was probably done but my guess is rarely.

[Nick]

And I thought this was a simple couple questions. To bad there aren’t any tournaments to drive judges crazy .  Anyway till more definitive answer comes along we’ll   house rule this one.

Thanks to everyone for input.

Since we use a fair amount of flamers I know this will come up. A flamethrower hits a transport but does not destroy or immobilize it , the transport passes the fire test would both transport and riders take same amount of pins. Also if it hits but doesn’t penetrate would pins also apply to both. The value of a flamethrower can really go up or down on the answer for us.

Nat so if a panzerfaust and flamer hits I get to chose which goes first and assign pins before panzerfaust.  It may seem pickey but answer would affect what might be targeted.

Thanks again

Along the reaction fire lines, I would assume (oh oh ) the hull could not pivet to shoot if attacl coming from side or rear. But would the turret get a free rotate in order to fire.

Thanks

This is a pure guess. Green guys are simply inexperienced and new. Inexperienced and not available as green means they just  suck and already had experience and didn’t improve.

You may  be right on both reasons.

This question arose recently. Does an officers morale bonus only work if units are near him at beginning of turn. Or can an officer move to get in range of an other wise out of range unit.
I am not referring to snap to orders.
Thanks

Do people use house rules for artillery crew placement. It seems a bit stiff that a almost 200 pt. 88mm can realistically be wiped out by a 50 pt. mortar in 1 turn. We are using a single dot for center of artillery piece. Should it be regular type base which would push 2″ min distance out of reach of a 2″ template getting everyone. We are thinking of letting a couple guys be outside 2″ range on larger crews but 1″ from a crew member. Than if inside guys get knocked out they use an advance order to get to gun. Any thoughts or house rules people use.
Thanks
Nick

Thank You

We are relatively new to game . Sorry if we ask so many questions. I tried looking thru all 29 pages and searches before asking. Thanks for all answers.
1- Do heavy weapons with penetration change the damage number of infantry. Example does a H.Machinegun (+1 pen.)damage on 4+ against veteran infantry. Will penetration also affect hard cover , behind walls , gun shields etc. Would a panzer Faust damage an infantry on anything but a 1.
Open-topped : The way we read it small arms can add pin markers to open-top but cannot actually damage them even from rear of say 7+ armor vehicle.
thanks

This is about soviet Big HE . Does the 2d6 mean actual hits or pin markers. Does this mean we don’t use the templet to see how many are hit. I didn’t see anything already written. Thanks

[Nick]

Thanks . that was very helpful.
