Default Re: Ammo Loadouts, and Z-fire Abuse

Hi MT,

You make good point about Arnhem. Not sure to what extent they had access to dropped (parachuted) ammo cannisters, I know much of it landed far afield. They also took more ammo than the average unit. I'm sure the high casualty rate helped the ammo situation; and the use of German weapons.

That said, if ammo loadouts are historically correct, and shortages by infantry were rare in one hour engagements, then I'm for the status quo. I guess I'll have to fight longer battles if I want ammo to become more of an issue.

The Z-fire overuse will just have to be some sort of pre-game agreement.
