Mortars in SB

[gabeeg]

If I am correct, Mortars suffer from the effectiveness drop as they are used same as most other weapons in SB. The effectiveness drop of SB weapons has been a sore point off and on over the years and I have come to appreciate it, and live with it as it is a decent abstraction for combat stress, injury, weapon issues, rate of fire reduction, etc. That said, for weapons such as Mortars where the unit is generally behind the line of contact I would think the Status (effectiveness) should only be affected by counter or direct fire...but use should not affect Status. Instead, I would prefer to see a limit on the number of rounds available...guess the same would go for any indirect arty. What do you guys think?
