Fuzzy BA logic.

Both had a tow hook and both had no capacity for an extra gun crew, amo and ranging stuff.

Not like 251/4 that was designed  and used as tow for guns like IG 18. But had no gun on board.

Yes it should have both transport and tow capabilities while the 250/9 does not.

So the spotter is only for drawing LOS.
Only the pins on the mortar count for the order test.
Pinning the observer is useless. The pins on the observer only count if you want to order the observer to move.

Reading in italian traslation is not clear. Now I read again in original english version and I understand like Nat wrote.

If the mortar is firing then its the mortar that is receiving the order and so needs to test, and will receive the order die next to them.  The spotter just provides LoS to the target (and due to not having an order die next to him can claim DOWN if targeted)

You can think of it as spotter & mortar are 2 separte units that share Line of sight…[Read more]

And if:
– spotter has no pins
– mortar has pins
Mortar shoots on the spotter’s indication, so the spotter does not need an order test and I put the “fire” die close to the observer, but should the mortar perform an order test to shoot?

So an update on the Chelmsford Bunker BP front!

We have 5 French*, 6 British*, 2 portugese (one with french as well) and a Prussian force being started!

*a couple of guys are doing a force for each so we dont have blue on blue pick up battles!

Turrets have a 360 deg arc of fire unless you have suffered ‘turret jam’ which locks the turret in to a fixed arc.

[quote] Turret-mounted weapons. Weapons mounted on turrets can usually fire all around (i.e. into any arc). Some turret-mounted weapons have restricted arcs because of the design or  position of the turret, and these cases are…[Read more]

Built at Blohm & Voß Hamburg Tsingtau’s service began as general Flottentender in 1934, just a few S-boats being ready. But 5.3.1936 it became Schnellbootbegleitschiff for the six boats of 1. S-Flottille.

They operated in Ostsee. But then there was a high priority demand for cadet sea training and 13.2.1940 Tsingtau became training ship. 23 of…[Read more]

I believe the turret gives a tank 360° arc of fire, with no penalties. As for MGs, I do not think they give 2 pins.

I am guessing the door hinges are on the left of the door (when you are outside the truck looking straight at the driver’s door), and not on the right where they usually are. So the door swings open “clockwise” and not the usual anti-clockwise.

Guessing they use a device where the wheel holder is on a hinge, as with modern external wheel carriers.

Only other thing I can think of is that it might server as extra protection for the driver, who can always get out the passenger side?

From Kaiser’s time to modern Bundeswehr all German soldiers are fit, well shaped and motivated super soldiers.

I don’t think the 6lb guns can be rifled as this is the War of the Spanish Succession. Rifled artillery, from what I have read, were not invented until the 1840’s.

Thank you to all for your replies.

Thank you Big Al.

The 3 pdrs are probably better as battalion guns with the 6 pounders being  light field guns (BP2 calls them horse artillery). Having said that I play 15mm and increase all artillery ranges by 25%.
