I would like to learn more about how mortars were used in WWII. (1) Would they use indirect fire with one of their crewmen serving as a spotter? Another way to...
That would vary depending upon the time and army. Some armies used mortars that were crewed by the artillery branch, and were used like any other artillery...
Thanks for your input Doug. I will pick up a copy of Picot's book. I'm not sure if I mentioned it before, but based on your recommendation I picked up a copy...

Dear Members, How would someone like to send me a candid review of the rules. Hopefully I can get it published. Sincerely, Phil classical hack is at:...
I Just finished reading Zaloga's Osprey book on the M26 Pershing and it remined me how easily one could do a 1950 Korea scenario using WWII minis. On one side...
Another book on artillery that you might like: The Guns of Normandy by George Blackburn Doug ... Gudmundsson. ... Thanks Gregory. I would be inbterested in...
I found the following on the Korean War in Zaloga's Osprey book on the M26 Pershing. "A study conducted after the war counted 119 tank-vs-tank actions during...
For those interested, At Southern Front (our local con here in Raleigh) I will be running a 1965 Indo-Pakistan war scenario. This will be the debut of my new ...

Chris, I am not sure of any WW2 study which is similar, but this is not really surprising. The terrain in Korea is very compartmentalized and it would be hard...
Good points. In the same paragraph Zaloga states that out of the 119 tank-vs-tank engagements that occurred during the war only 24 involved more than 4 North...
Here is a minor variant that resolves what happens to crashing planes. Just subsitute the following paragraph for the one in the rules. This shouldn't make...
So what are you painting? I just finished painting up some M20's to round out my tank destroyer company and some M16 quad-50 cal. Halftracks. Now that I have...
HI Chris, I just finished some British Churchills, bridgelayers, AVREs, and Crab flails. Now if only GHQ would make some Crocodiles. Doug Lefler "Chris P."...
Well, no WW2 stuff here, but as usual I am painting a hoard of modern micro armor. I just got done painting some M48s and m60s for a 1980s Warsaw Pact game as...
Nobody makes Crocodiles?! I think you can get away with using US trailers that come in the packs with jeeps. They are also sold separately. One option is to...
Ok, time for a confession. The Cavalry rules are there but I have never playtested them. ...and there is a giant swoooshing sound as my credibility goes out...
I think Heroics and Ros do, but I'm not sure if their models are the same size as GHQ ones. I know I'm being picky, but as Dave says, you have to indulge your...

Your credibility will never go away, but that is because you had so little to begin with :) I think that I am going to run my RCW game Friday night and my ...
... Sounds about right. ... Be sure to send me the rules when they are ready. I'd like to include them in the variant file. There is a nice account of an...
