Why are my mortars hiding from the FO?

Thanks to Don and Captain Insano.

I did not check on radio contact, explaining my seeing different mortars in dufferent turns. My two 88's have had two turns of Fire before I ran them back (One KV-1 at least I'll see Insano's 88's and raise him py Pak50 portees!

My Pak50 portee's (or whatever the skdfz designation is) have been less effective than I had hoped. The battle is not going real well. I probably will lose my inf. in a withdrawl to protect my armor and may even lose due to objectives. I have to kill a lot of t-26s and BT-5s to equal over 2000 points of objectives. A draw would be lucky when I am done.

As an aside, I would love to be able to repick my auxillaries for that battle. In an earlier thread I had mentioned planning my core for the eventual Matilda's and T-34s, thus explaining my choice of the Pak50 portee style ATG for now. I picked the auxilliary this time with the mortar and MG support due to past infantry heavy mixes I had seen from past delay scenarios. I was not prepared for a massive weenie tankette rush! I may run out of ammo in all my main AFVs.

To Don and Andy, I assume there is no way to reload the battle to repick the aux. forces for this same battle. I would have to back N-1 in the battle counter to the last tuen save and go through the random assignment of a different mission. Correct?

Thanks

Thanks - I will need to keep my mortars closer to the FO
