Turning the turret is not considered moving, so can be done with a Fire order. I wouldn’t allow it with an Ambush order, but that’s RAI.

To answer your other question, size of the gun doesn’t factor here, imo, as its chances to hit are the same (disregarding range, obviously).

AT guns), referring to the British book. The same is true for most of the weapon teams.

Perhaps you mean Sturmpioniere, which are on p.25 of the German 2nd ed. book.

Does this rule ignore any Pins on the unit firing indirectly?

It seems strange to assume that if the crew has to keep its…[Read more]

Examples include the different German boxed sets.

That said, there are also upsides: the beefier models are much more resilient (which is important to me as a wargamer) and the more restricted poses do mean that the figs are easier to assemble.

As always, state before firing (or going into Ambush) what shell you are using.

This is an excellent litte gun, and a near auto-include for many players of the British that I know.
