Do they have to shoot same target or can flamethrower or AT rifle choose different target (like one shot weapon Panzerfaust?). And how pins are applied, if rifles and flamethrower shoot at the same infantry squad, does it get 1 pin from rifle fire and more from flamethrower per it’s rules?

It weights only little over 1000 kg and has wheeled trailer on it. I could imagine that it would be easily towed even with 4WD jeep. In contrast german flak 88 weights almost 7,5 tons (although this is super heavy AA gun).

So basically only thing that can tow it is some kind of half track.

It is artillery and AA gun, that much it clear. In errata it says “Fixed (counts as a heavy gun for the purposes of movement)”. I assume this means that it cannot be moved by manhandling the weapon, you have to use tow. If so, what is this weapons tow rating? Light, medium or heavy AA gun?

If HMG (+1 pen) is shooting at inexperienced armoured car (DV 7+) at long range, pen value reduced to 0, but does HMG shot this still count as heavy weapon in regarding able to still pin that vehicle? Regular and veteran vehicles cannot be pinned, since…[Read more]

What I meant by “cannot do anything during setup” is that they are inside that transport and cannot be deployed elsewhere. Of course from turn one they can dismount and so on.

So basically if I have truck with 3 inf squads in it and they are part of my setup/deployment force, I put 4 dice in bag for them. When I pull dice…[Read more]

– In general, can you even deploy transports in setup (where units start on a table) or has it to be left in reserve (since there is no first wave in this scenario)?

– If you can deploy them, follow up question; when you…[Read more]

I cannot find clear answer to this from rulebook or US army book. This item made me think that it could be possible to use LMGs this way (2 man LMG team figures):…[Read more]
