z fire

[Greybeard]

Hello Guys,

Well, I use Z-fire usually under the following:

Assaults.. recon indicates that the MLR is reached, and I don't like to bash my troops against the spikes.. so I toss some smoke from artillery/SP guns.. use the SP guns & MG's to 'z' fire into an area to soften things up a little, and push the recon on to make contact.. if no contact then I stop wasting ammo and puch the recon out a little farther..

running like hell... anything that will slow down the oncoming horde is helpful.. usuallu 2 platoons are running and MG's with the last platoon are covering at the end of their movement..

City fight.. never try to clear a city block without cover fire.. otherwise the other troops will just grin and enjoy having target practice..

On the line of advance.. if you are getting close to where the enemy might be.. then a little 'z' fire helps..

Onn the defense.. when an opponent concentrates troops into an area the creates a target rich environment.. well, it's hard to resist, and darn helpful to slow the momentum.. very useful for slowing down engineer types that are trying to break thru static defenses.. doesn't usually stop them, but lends enough time to reposition troops for a reasonablr chance to plug the hole..

At tanks.. makes the crews button down to avoid getting their hair parted.. helps the AT teams do their job and actually survive..
