For what it’s worth, soldiers loaded down with additional kit loose speed, agility and endurance and (more important) not everyone is equally familiar with a weapon they might pick up. I’d suspect, in a US Infantry squad, the bazooka and platoon machine gun crew members couldn’t be replaced by a rifleman.

I’m living in Mississauga, Ontario and have Bolt Action late war British, German and American. I’m also interested in Napoleonic (British and French figures), American Civil War and Age of Reason (Prussians, mostly).

Hi Greg. Don’t know about the rules but I’ve always used bazooka-type weapons in ambush. Loading and firing was a finicky business so I’d side with the ‘if you move you can’t fire’ team. The interesting exception to this is the Panzerfaust which was fired by individual soldiers so, for example, it could be prepared while moving to position. I don’t know about the PIAT. My understanding is that it was more like a cross between the panzerfaust and a rifle-grenade launcher (so it could be operated by an individual soldier – likely with some difficulty)
