There is no note of a core forward observer. A core FOO is absolutely vital for any army, but especially for an artillery-oriented army like the UK. He will gain experience and so will the core arty, resulting in very quick calls for fire eventually.

I actually do have FOO for each of my core coy but had forgotten about them when I listed my force
. the frequent smoke and dust make it difficult to get actual sight on the target but they are nice when I can manage them
The appearance of the panzer 3 L\m took me by complete surprise. the first time I encountered them was during April 1942 and I didn't know the german had L\M then. I didn't had access to the 6 pdr or grant then so I bolted out of the area.
My main problem in meeting engagement was that my forward element would have problem resisting the german tank charge. I usually rush my leg coy and the tank forward to grab the Victory points so my 6 pdr get left behind, and it's hard to get artillery on moving tanks. I tried putting my ATG in the truck a few time but often the truck get snipe off by long range direct fire or artillery. I do have truck for all of my support weapon but they just gather dust except for the few time I use them to rush the support weapon to the front. Is there any different between the 1&1/2 ton truck and the morris 15cwt?
I also notice the enemy always seem to outnumber me. Could this be because most of my leg coys are elite or veterans by now so the AI get the points to outnumber me? It's a bit disappointing that british infantry weapon top out by 1942 except for the PIAT. Everyone else get better weapon later.
