My plan is to use British 6-4-8 counters to represent these troops. I was wondering about a SSR to amend the nationality characteristics. Possibly to allow cowering and increase broken morale. What do you think?

Thank you all for a clear answer to my question and an interesting side story on the the 107mm American mortar - the many authors and contributors to the ASLRB (plus the vehicle and ordnance notes) also get a wholehearted well done and thank you from me.

What is the rationale behind the increase in the Area target type to hit number from "7" for 1-6 range and 7-12 range to "8" at 13-18 range?

Played Through the Narrow Passage today - first time playing on the FB map which is both rich in detail and visually attractive. I found the rules comprehensively explained and the effects of food shortages and ammunition shortages are pretty straight forward and logical. Given the nature of...

What a great set of ideas and I'm a little disappointed in myself that I hadn't thought of some of them. 3MF to move up hill into a building makes so much sense that I'm going to change my choice to that one and just grin and bear the special ammunition, As for deploying tanks ...

Played Got Milk today - great scenario and a tonic from house to house fighting in Stalingrad (also the subject of a good article in Journal 7 - although note that RR SSR state that bore sighting is not applicable). One of my concealed squads advanced uphill, across barbed into close combat the...

What a great project - I was just searching for help on slopes for upcoming Got Milk and found this. Thank you - please post some more pictures

Thank you - really appreciate your help

Brilliant thank you. What happens to passengers in a vehicle that is recalled? - presumably they leave with the vehicle!
