Well, that's another game ruined

Once again, another exciting game has been ruined (for me) by some ridiculous OpFire success. A tank - engaged to the front, buttoned, in smoke - has spun around on a slowly advancing tank at a...

Re: Tank Gun Autoloaders & Ready Rounds

To return to my original observation:

Within the context of an MBT battle, IF a 3-man crew cannot easily access their extra ammo (which seems likely unless laid up in a quiet location) BUT a 4-man...

Re: About new cover option

Personally, I don't think "Take cover!" should constitute an 'order', unless as Roman suggests there is some tangible visible result.

I would rather see it taken more as a given, and can think of...

Re: ATGM - opportunity fire

Good information to bear in mind ... since it is 'systematic', a player is faced with a unique factor for ATGMs in his decision whether to turn off his weapons after each turn so they don't disclose...

ATGM - opportunity fire

I have noticed that when an opposing ATGM opportunity fires at one of my units, the screen focus may shift to another part of the map and a hex will be red-lined with a target path shown (presumably...

Re: Smoking

Will do.

As I recall, it was simply done with a mind toward saving some for later. I often turn off guns with HE, and had not previously noticed that smoke was different - but it is, and that's...

Re: Smoking

Thank you for looking into this, Don.

Maybe this is related in some way to another smokey quirk I have run into: when an arty unit has one smoke left it will fire 1 smoke hex, whereas all...

I created a second test from scratch after clean game start - no observer LOS (relevant?) - same results as first one:

Re: Smoking

I set up a test fire with a one-slot load of 6 MLRS rockets, fired smoke over two moves, checked that the mission was complete, and saw there were 4 hexes of smoke (1 first turn, 3 second turn), as...

Re: Tank Gun Autoloaders & Ready Rounds

Well, that seems to settle it for the autoloaders, then! ;)

It would seem that, barring a secret autoreloader or undisclosed fourth crewman, once the carousel is empty the main gun is basically...

Smoking

I had need of a large smokescreen the other day, and so turned to one of my M270 MRLS (USA OOB12 Unit 159). I turned off one slot, thinking that 6 CM rockets should give some good coverage.

I got...

Tank Gun Autoloaders & Ready Rounds

Reading links in recent posts on the Leclerc T9, I wondered - with a 3-man crew, how would they reload the autoloader buttoned up in the middle of a WinMBT battle, and if they couldn't, should the...

Scenario #28 - 2 small fixes?

1. 3 OOB 11 Scout Teams (ScenHack numbers 573-575) have Icon#432, and therefore appear as sandbag bunkers, when they should perhaps be Icon#0 like the others?

2. There are no arty gold spots....

USA OOB12 Weapons

Looking through the weapons values, I wondered if any of the following items have slipped through the cracks - sorry, I patched over to V7.0 before noticing, so haven't checked prior version:

Next spotter selected.
Spotter B can see Target 2, and Mortar fire is plotted.
Spotter B cannot see Target 1.
Situation unchanged when both...

Re: M27 105mm Recoilless Rifle in obat12

I'd be open to trading answers to those pesky nagging questions - either in a USA Cold War OOB thread or private messaging as you (or the moderators) may prefer.

Re: M27 105mm Recoilless Rifle in obat12

Per the TC-31 referred to above, the 75-mm RR section was to assume a predominantly HE role, since its AT performance was apparently so lacking.

The book you refer to threw me for a loop also,...

Re: M27 105mm Recoilless Rifle in obat12

Re 105mm RR Platoon, attached is from Training Circular 31, dated 4 September, 1952.

Re 75mm Jeep RR, this is not in TOE 7-18 dated 1 June 1945. My best guess is that it was either Airborne only,...

Re: artillery delay for small mortars

In the early fifties, the USA changed their field manuals (and thus official doctrine) to reflect the 'reality' that their 60-mm mortars were normally attached one to a platoon, and as I mentioned...

Re: M27 105mm Recoilless Rifle in obat12

Interesting information.

Until now, I had assumed that the M40 was authorized by TOE 7-18 Change 5 on 14 October 1954 rather than by 7-18R, since the R-series seemed to change precious little in...
