An idle thought on infantry assault...
...that came to me after watching a Soviet rifle platoon (under my command) massacring almost two platoon's worth of Panthers (AI) with just antitank grenades.
IRL to use such weapons as RPG-40 or RKG-3, the assaulting party has to get very close to the target and out of cover. So... Shouldn't an infantry assault with "range 1" weapons result in the assaulting party rushing out to the hex where the assaulted vehicle is? This would of course make the assaults much more deadly for the assaulting troops, but OTOH they were so in real life as well, tha's why the ranged light antitank weapons were adopted.
So just a thought... Are "Range 1" antitank weapons somehow penalised in close assaults?
