Re: Light Mortar accuracy

Hi James
Yes I think that is how most players play them. Really they are best
used as the "centrepiece" of a coy defensive position, If you have
say just an inf coy being assaulted by a infantry battalion then
these little fellows can actually make quite a difference. Once
armour is introduced, or in a mobile battle they are much harder to
employ.

Cake and eat it.....

This is just one post of an entire acrimonious thread where the whole direct/indirect mortar problem was discussed in depth. The results of that horse flaying exercise are known. If "...most players..." don't have a problem playing them direct fire only then there isn't a problem - for most players.

This says it all really, Russians Pat Russians.

You said nothing about Russians though the '39 date is a bit of hint. So if it's Russians, you really are screwed. Good luck.
