A general question - does anyone else here play 6mm, and can you share your experiences? Cross-posted to the RF group - sorry if that annoys anyone! Andrew T...
Nice discussion on RF in 6mm, I like the 1-1 scale idea for men and then play game in cm. What size were the bases? I play RF in 12mm and use FOW small size...

In a situation where a battery of gun-howitzers like 25-pdrs was at the max of its direct fire range and needed a 6 to hit could the player choose to fire...
If I remember the accounts of gun-howitzers fireing correctly - they are used to fireing IDF HE. They would, could and did fire over open sights (HE and AP),...
Good question! My two cents is that things are slightly skewed by the time scale with each turn being approximately 15 minutes. In reality a battery would...
The point being made is that because of the range band hit scores, IDF has a greater chance of a hit at extreme DF ranges and beyond which seems odd. One would...
We are wargamers. Band 6 and target moving you need a 7 on a D6. IDF you need above a 1 on a D6 for comms and then a 6 on a D6 for the first gun - then a 5 or...
I think that if a gun (or mortar) crew wishes to fire on a target which they can see from the gun position, they can choose to use either the Direct or...
Think, overall, it is a bit clearer with AFVs, whether closed or open top. Direct fire HE is not, as pointed out, allowed. Since 8.85 goes on to clearly...

Sounds good to me to and is also realistic - gunners will obviously choose the most effective form of fire to damage a target - direct fire is straight hit or...

Hi, the rules that seems to apply here are on page 62: 1. IDF is controlled by an OP (rule 8.66) 2. Each OP is normally attached to a specialist artillery...
Thanks for that Mark. The link was very interesting too. I just wanted to clarify if I was doing things correctly in playtesting the Termoli scenario. The...
Paul, the "radio exchange" vehicle is a bit like the modern fire control centre and operates at the regimental HQ level for British (see the orbats). Look at...
