experimental rules in MBT

[Greybeard]

Hello Weasel,

I like this alot.. also something to consider is this..

Most full infantry companies come with imbedded mortars of some sort.. the only unit that should be able to direct these mortars should be the Company CO, or a unit designated as the fire direction team - not a FO unless he comes attached to the company.

Also, many countries have a battalion support/weapons company of some sort. These usually include a couple of mortar squads or other indirect fire artillery types. Perhaps these should only be directed by the weapons company CO - and the support company shouldn't be available until at least a battalion of troops are on the map (normally 3 companies per battallion?).

One question though.. what do you consider a 'target'.. a single hex.. a center of fire with a radius from the center.. a selected area for interdiction fire where a battery may be shooting in the same general vicinity, but each gun is targeted with about a 2 hex spacing?

Perhaps the FO can only direct the fire of a single complete battery (appx 4-6 shooting units - or one off-map unit) at a time?

I usually play larger games, and always have multiple FO's around.. just in case something unexpected happens..
