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...
Good post, Glen. I would agree with you to have a free choice over the matter of fire where this is allowable. Paul ... (I ... gun ... see ... see? ... AFVs ...
I think this is the definative answer! Nice one. Why couldn't I have been so clear and well reasoned? John Hadley ... (I ... gun ... see ... see? ... AFVs ......
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...
Given a post 1943 British 25-pdr regt off-table will deploy 3 observers one per battery plus a chief observer at regt level. Will a battery observer normaly...
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...
Hi all, i have just joined. I thought I would introduce myself. I have a large collection covering most of the major protagonists, but mostly play German. Also...
Thanks again, Mark I think I've got it straight now. I originally thought the radio exchange vehicle was deployed only at regt level but got confused on how...
Greetings from Spain! I'm the president of a Wargames Club, mostly based on Rapid Fire 2. So I think it's obligatory to join this great group, so I promise you...

Welcome to the list, Paco. In my club, all german players (with only one honorable exception) are now playing FOW, and none of the RF2 Axis players wants to...
Which of the modern extensions of RF do you use? ... Basically the "War in Peace" set by Rolf Hedges (liberation miniatures). They are not really a full set of...
Can anyone help with this query: In our battle yesterday, two Shermans were side by side with about half an inch or so spacing between the models. One was...
Hi, 1. the risk zone (page 51)is used for infantry targets only. When firing artillery (not MRLS) the individual vehicle is the target. In your example only...

Reading p.64 (8.85 -8.87) it seems the idea is that once any type of AFV is destroyed by a D6 roll of 6 then you should dice for casualties. For tank riders...
My apologies to RF2 members who read my previous post and wondered what it was about. It should have been posted on another discussion group since it contained...
