Re: Error in Abn mtr unit?

Re: Error in Abn mtr unit?

I humped the 50cal, never a mortar. You are right, two on the MG, 1 on the tripod (that is all we used) and 1 carry ammo (2 cans). The ammo is too heavy to carry along with the MG or tripod.

It is the US OOB 81mm DF, but you are correct checking other country OOBs the indirect mortars have a speed of 2, the US 81mm OOB has a speed of 3 as does the CDN 60mm DF mortar. But I was just...

Sorry, but one other thing need tweaking?

Playing my turn and the 81mm DF can only move 1 hex at a time cross country, speed 3. The 50cal HMG can move 2 hexes cross country (speed 4). The 81 mortar, complete, weighs 89 pounds whereas the...

Re: Error in Abn mtr unit?

I did some searching, and although they are called "PARA" they were actually loaded onto gliders and would come in after the para infantry secured the DZ. They were airborne though and delivered via...

Re: Error in Abn mtr unit?

No it is not.

If it shows a mortar Icon it's a "gun" if it shows just the "crew" as infantry it's a DF.

The formation it is in is Para Pl DW[A].....DW indicated it's set up as " detached...

Re: Error in Abn mtr unit?

But SSI did refund my money when I bought one of their games, the WW2 ship combat one, and it was so boring; aim at target, hit space bar to shoot, aim at target, hit space bar. I called and told...

That will solve that problem, thanks. I wasn't complaining but it didn't make sense, and since you guys are the keeper of the grail now it fell into your lap. If SSI or GG was still around I would...

Re: Error in Abn mtr unit?

I would be interested in seeing what TO&E was used to determine direct fire 81mm mortars as support; I have never heard of such a thing so a reference would be fantastic. I cannot find anything on...

Re: Error in Abn mtr unit?

Infantry can always move anywhere; if you want to have them wiped out that is up to you. By support weapon I mean anything that is crew served (mgs, tanks, inf guns, ATG etc). So if it is part of a...

Optional Game rules

These are BARE BONE rules, many things have been deleted or amended. For those who find the full set of rules too much this may be more to your liking.
