What about a bazooka or a panzerfaust (hollow charges)? Can they shooting against infantry? How would it work?

Flamethrower against open-topped vehicles. Does the open-topped also have the double penalty like with HE? +1 penetration and + 1 Damage chart.

I cannot find in the rulebook if the flamethrower causes this double penalty in open-topped … page?

Thanks 😊 Stuart. Perfectly clarified.

Thanks Stuart. It’s very clear 👌 I missed the … ‘or less’ part.

One new doubt …

A flamethrower can benefit from short distance too? I mean, a flamethrower firing without moving at a distance of 2 inches, is that … ÷3 with modifiers short distance and point blank … a 2+ would correct?

Got it Stuart. Thousands of thanks. I will modified the example for my personal FAQ. 🙂

Thanks you very much Stuart. You’re very patient with me. I am struggling with the rules, but I am starting grab some complex issues. Thanks a lot 🙂

Let see if I get the example right now.

In the set-up. German player deploys a sniper team inside a building on the second floor.

Then in the first turn, the British player deploys a Cromwell tank. The Cromwell tank advances and fires its main gun with HE (2″) and its machine gun to a second floor of a building where a German sniper h…[Read more]

Thanks for tje answer.

I see what you mean. On page 124-5 in the rulebook it says what you Just pointed out, ignore only the cover penalty hits.

Now, I have another question about the DOWN part.

In normal situation when a player declares a fire order then the other players can choose DOWN before the roll for HIT.

But in the HE against…[Read more]

Another change I would implement is in the rulebook. I would put a lot of practical examples to better understand the rule. Something like when I asked about how to use the flamethrower ..

I would change the roll of dice that you need to get a 6 and the roll again and get another 6 to hit. The mathematical probability is (1/6)*(1/6) =1/36 that is to say … 2,78%

This is almost impossible. I would make it a fest roll of a 6 and the, the next one get a 4, 5 or 6.  This would be (1/6)*(1/2)= 1/12 that is to say 8,8%, a more…[Read more]

Thanks. It’s much simpler this way. 🙂

I was also wondering bout this point … um?

So, can you please confirm that with a 6 in roll to damage does NOT automatically kill but we have to use the damage table?

And what about the number of hit?

For instance, a German infantry squad of 10 men fire at a US jeep. The get 6 hits. Now do we roll 6 times for damage using the table?

I am confused …

Thanks.

And just last question in this thread … can you please tell me what US vehicles have that gyro stabilized gun?

All Shermann I suppose and?

Thanks

So, imagine that you hot roll of 4, +2 penetration, +1 Top part of the vehicle= 7

It matches the vehicle armor, this means superficial damage.

Now we roll for damages, with a -3 for superficial and a +1 for second open-topped penalty. We roll a 6, so 6 -3 +1 = 4 The vehicle is still knock out despite being a superficial damage.

Is this correct?
