Is the 120mm mortar in the scenario Alone intentional? - Wolfgang - 01-28-2011 I was wondering about this. Alone (modern war) is a smaller map where the americans are deployed in a 6 hex outpost. In the outpost is a 120mm mortar and crew. The min. range on that is such that only a narrow band of the map is available for targetting. Is that by design? Historical accuracy? A way to weight victory points? Or is it an oversight? Seems like a smaller caliber mortar would be more useful as opfor starts within the min range of this weapon and thus its not used in the scenario.

RE: Is the 120mm mortar in the scenario Alone intentional? - jmlima - 01-28-2011 Historical fluff. It was there in reality, and so I decided to keep it. You can always uncrew it, and use the crew for other purposes. RE: Is the 120mm mortar in the scenario Alone intentional? - Wolfgang - 01-29-2011 Very cool - no i dont mind at all, in fact i like that kinda stuff... just wanted to be sure. I've played the scenario a few times and always wondered that each time so i figured i'd finally ask^^. I didnt' know i could un-crew that weapon... RE: Is the 120mm mortar in the scenario Alone intentional? - Mad_Dog - 01-30-2011 You can uncrew a weapon by selecting the crew, and then having them 'drop' it. Then they can move, and pick up other weapons.
