Bunkers

[Haskeer]

Hi all, after reading rules on p.127 about bunkers, I have a couple of queries –

 

how many figures can fire from them, is it the same as for buildings (2 per opening).

 

Im planning on building a few camouflaged bunkers for our Pacific games, in the style of log reinforced, dug in bunkers. How would you treat them – as p.127 bunkers, or as hidden dug in positions?

 

thanks in advance,

John

From rulebook “…Bunkers follow the rules given for buildings with these exceptions:…”

and no exception follows on the fire from the openings, therefore by regulation two models fire from 1 opening.

Then in a friendly game, if the opening is large enough nobody forbids you and you friends to establish that more models can be fire from a large bunker window.

For the second question, I can’t answer. I had a look at the supplements for the pacific theater but I found no indications (but I only took a quick look).

Depends if you think the bunker could take a 122mm howitzer shell (heavy howitzer as found on the soviet SU152 – biggest gun in a BA army)… IF you think the bunker can withstand it then take it as a bunker if not then a building…

or you can take it as a heavier constructed building and say it needs an extra 1 or 2 hits to destroy

 

EDIT – the only time I’d only go with the rules as written is a tournament /pickup game.  Against club /regular opponents feel free to tweek the rules (ie how about trying down in a dug in only adds an extra -1 instead of doubling the benefit)
