I was thinking about making the mortar the platoon's primary weapon. Though I must admit, bringing a mortar that size onto the battlefield for fire-support would have it's advantages (as long as the infantry doesn't start dropping rounds on top of friendly units ). Would artillery rules come into play at that point, though? -------------------- "For those about to rock, we salute you." - AC DC "The evil that can come, from the heart of a man, must be answered in kind 'till it disappears, and we're safe." - Kansas Post Extras:       Karagin General Reged: 04/21/01 Posts: 6321 Loc: Ft.

The rules we used for mortars was similar to artillery useage...base to hit etc...put no fligth time they are on board after all and could be adjusted easier then offical written for normal arty in the game. -------------------- Karagin Given time and plenty of paper, a philosopher can prove anything.

I think I will have to sit down and put some rules down on paper, and maybe work them into a scenario sometime. Thanks for the input. -------------------- "For those about to rock, we salute you." - AC DC "The evil that can come, from the heart of a man, must be answered in kind 'till it disappears, and we're safe." - Kansas Post Extras:       Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 0 registered and 0 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
