AT guns

[Mr Grumpy]

..... but would be good if I could find an easier way to move them both forwards and backwards without having to get them devastated whilst in T mode. 

Well I have not played PzC for many years as I am a dedicated FWWC player now, so excuse me if I am talking rubbish, BUT I remember this issue being discussed at length in the past and I know from RickyB that it was discussed in person with JT at a TillerCon many years back, the result of that feedback to JT was this special rule as shown on page 35 of the user manual...........

"Special AT Gun Egress
Towed AT Guns are a defensive weapon and must be able to withdraw in the face of an enemy attack to be useful. Given default rules, many times a towed AT Gun unit which changes to Travel Mode to withdraw will be fired upon by enemy Opportunity Fire and this can often result in Disruption, preventing the unit from withdrawing. As a result, there is a special rule that says that a towed AT gun unit which changes to Travel Mode without having expended any movement points prior to that change will not trigger Opportunity Fire"

So unless I am misunderstanding this you can withdraw an AT gun without it being hit by opportunity fire as long as the AT gun has its full movement allowance (i.e. you don't fire once and then change to T mode).

As I say as I don't play PzC so this might not be the answer to Typhoon's prayers that I think it is!!  

Nah Darran, we all know the rule, the complaint is more centered on having to manage a whole slew of counters that are VERY fragile on the offense.  They put it in FWWC terms:  “why can’t these damn MGs be better on offense”.  

But seriously- “I don’t play PzC” — jeez man, I love Scotch but if you offer me a Martini I’m gonna drink it.

Yup I hear you, when I retire in a years time I will be relaunching my PzC career and no doubt we will meet on the battlefield !!!!!
