But for the same reason then a fixed weapon (MMG or mortar) cannot be moved in rough terrain because it only moves with a RUN order (according to the rulebook).
Reading the FAQ / Errata (where it is said that a fixed weapon moves with RUN order in rough terrain but only 6”), I understand that by extension a unit…[Read more]

can you help me with german grenaiere decals? I’m doing grenadiere 1944 (6 june 1944 Normandy to january 1945)

“If a heavy artillery piece is not deployed (like in scenarios where
everything starts off map), and the army does not include a tow/
towing vehicle, does it mean the artillery piece cannot enter the
battle? Is it lost, like reserves that fail to enter?
We will make an exception to the rules in this case, allowing
heavy guns that start…[Read more]

If target unit has not already taken an order in that turn, then can react opening fire.

Do you know if there is a generic light mortar?

Assaulting any building has to be done through entrances … so windows, doors

If trought entrances, then you can’t assault reaching a window, beacuse you can enter in a bunker only reaching a door.

Rules are not clear on this. You can assault reaching an opening (opening that you can use to enter or not) or only reaching an opening you can e…[Read more]

“I thought this, but D2 HE there was in 1st edition, in 2nd edition there isn’t (1” is D3 in buildings).”

On an Advance or Fire action, a unit may elect to throw a hand grenade instead. Resolve a 1” HE attack against a target within 6”.

Clear! Thank you!

I doubt you’ll find an exact answer since firefight doesn’t seem to be an “official” rule set.

My guess is that you will have to roll to hit as with any other weapon.

I agree

D2 HE is first edition HE notation – to convert first edition HE to template sizes, see the HE chart on p70 of the second edition MRB and cross reference the ‘hits vs units in buildings’ column as explained in the para below the chart.

“On an Advance or Fire action, a unit may elect to throw a hand grenade instead. Resolve a D2 HE attack against a target within 6”

1) you have to roll to hit before?

2) Firefight rules say that HE inflicts 1 hit to target and 1 hit to models inside HE template. So what mean “D2 HE attack”?

This happened recently. A transport with a squad in was hit and destroyed by both a panzerfaust and flamethrower coming from same unit.

“I agree with Warlord answer, because spotter can’t fire or assault, excalty like a medic and a chaplain. ”

Steeljackal – the gap in your “exactly” claim is that medics and chaplains ARE non-combatants under the laws of armed conflict, a spotter is not.

*although if you manage to get a 6 to hit as its indirect it would be very unsportsman like to pull out the ‘it doesnt say its a heavy weapon’ argument :p

I understand that can be disputes, but to me is simple to resolve.

But in this case there is no problem, HE1 means pen +1 then can damage and pin armoured vehicle, and all other things HE do.

“Weapons teams and losing the gunner: Both members of weapons teams are taught to load and fire their weapon. If the gunner is taken out of action due to a sniper or a confirmed 6, then roll a dice.

1) At the time, in reality, turretless tanks had the advantage of costing less to produce, but in the game it is not reproduced correctly with the point cost.
