Default Re: Japanese OOB omissions.

I assume your "plan" here is to ignore what we and others say and simply repeat your idea over and over ad nauseum with longer and longer posts until we just give in and do it your way ?

Not going to happen Chuck and there ARE limits to our patience and you are right on the line ATM

I have stated our position on this issue . I have ample justification for the decision and I recently , and totally by accident, found a set of table top wargame rules that also model them as direct fire......

"While nominally an indirect fire weapon, the grenade discharger's was really used as a company support direct fire weapon. "

NOMINALLY Chuck NOMINALLY and in the game you can use the Z key to fire these things into hexes you normally could not fire directly so they CAN fulfill their "nominal" use as indirect fire weapons if you so desire.

Andy said four posts ago the subject is closed. I guess we should have locked the thread then. It is now

I will, however, review the ranges given to these two grenade launchers in the game and if I find there is justification for changing the ranges I will but as your examples show, there are variations on the ranges given for each weapon depending on the source and I assume you did note the HUGE difference in range of the type 89 given by Taki depending on which grenade was fired from the weapon. 650 m (In case of Type 89 Grenade), 190 m (In case of Normal Grenades) and I hope you noted that although Taki claims "The kill of Type 89 Grenade was three times as much as that of the normal grenade" he gives absolutely no data for a "Type 89 Grenade" aside from a photo Strange given the detail found for other grenades.

However, they will stay DF weapons in the squads in the game as we said right from the start
