Things we did wrong!

[Tiger505]

OK this is a post where you list everything you learn you did wrong. The goal is to keep us from making these mistakes again.

1 Even if you attempt to dig in you can still fire but you count has having moved weather you succeed or not. So you can shoot and dig.
Page 81 Rule Book

2 Your CO can spot for any artillery unit in your company weather they are allied or not and regardless of a staff team.
Page 125 Rule Book

3 When you shoot at a platoon that has a mixture of team types the best AT shots will automatically go against the armored targets.
Page 67 Rule Book

4 Hits against vehicles must be allocated to the weakest armor in the unit first. So if you have a unit with 1 tank at short range and 1 tank at long range you MUST allocate the hit to the tank in short range because it has a weaker armor rateing.
Page 70 Rule Book

5 When you shoot at a unit targets outside BP cover must be assigned hits first. This has nothing to do with targets being at range or in concealing terrain.
Page 73 Rule Book

6 Teams that require FP tests to destroy will automatically be assigned the hits with the best FP. So If you have 4 teams in a unit of which 2 are outside BP cover and 2 are inside BP cover and you are hit with 2 main gun rounds with a 3+ firepower and 2 MG shots with a 6+ firepower you MUST assign the main gun rounds to the teams that are in BP cover.
Page 73 Rule Book

Anyone can add to this but PLEASE add the page number and what book the rule is from.

Let's clarify Number 2 on the list. It is any Company Command Team, so 1IC and 2IC both can be used as spotters. They can only spot for 1 platoon at a time. So if you have 2 platoons of arty on the board (ie 105's and 155's) they can only spot for 1 or the other but not both. You would have to have the IC's each spot for 1 platoon if they can. All other rules about Spotting Teams also apply. So no moving, shooting, and/or assaulting if used to spot. This also goes for the Arty Platoon Command Teams


Staff Teams are not used for spotting but for Ranging In. If you don't have a staff team you can not Range In. Meaning you cannot do repeat fire, you'll have to roll the range in each turn you fire without the Staff team.

U.S. Artillery do not get to AUTOMATICALLY handoff fire missions to other batteries...the rulebook says they MAY attempt to range in a new mission when calling for a repeat mission. So not only can you not handoff without a range in...the original battery must fire for one more turn before you can move it to another target.
Rule book, Page XX.

That is incorrect sir. Only the CiC can spot for artillery bombardments at +1 to-hit. The 2iC can only call artillery bombardment for American's.

I think you mean All Guns repeat not Range in.

We clarified this a while back but thanks for the input.

I learned that OP carriers and other such vehicles cannot join an infantry platoon in assault and force a tank terror.
