Default Re: mounted guns destroyed by artillery

Quote:
Sometimes when there is a lot of artillery landing, and planes flying around and I have to move that mortar. Keep the vehicle and mortar in the same hex, load the mortar, move as far as possible and unload again in the same move. Next turn repeat the process, this might sound ridiculous but if you're hit at least it's unloaded moving at speed of 2 and will probably survive even if the vehicle doesn't. I've lost too many good units trapped in vehicles.
If its artillery your expecting & your not on a rough hex then moving is an option but for planes I tend to just stay stationary, moving units are far easier for the plane to see & hence become a target. If anything move the empty truck so both units are not in the same or adjacent hexes.
