I’m looking at some ideas at this moment but my many problems are the range of a hand thrown grenade and what effect they would have. In any assault none as you can see in or out of smoke to haze a range that would stop any enemy closing fire would have to be so long it would m…[Read more]

I use the rules below. The main reason is to use the British Airborne as in Historical realistic ways( British Airborne in op Market Garden had a 2” Mortars in every Section the crew men also carried personal weapons this was because they only had 6 Smoke rounds) so I use them being able to fire as either.
