On page 157 it mentions under Flamethrowers against buildings – Any and all surviving infantry units inside a burning building will immediately abandon it, from it’s ground floor openings, in the same way as units disembarking from a vehicle that has been immobilised – (see pages 140 & 141)

page 30 of the armies of france and the allies.

it lists the vehicles weapons as – 2 pintle-mounted mmgs with 360 degree arc

I’m assuming just once for the mortar but I’m uncertain.

Do spotters count as small teams? once again I’m assuming yes.

A – as you place units you check for hidden conditions then place a hidden token next to them, (e.g I could place the first unit on the table out in the open hidden as no enemy is on the table to see…[Read more]
