From BtB 11 Bosq Barbeque:

The Germans may secretly record which unit possesses the PSK; the PSK is not
placed on board until it fires.

You would think a friggin' stove pipe of that size would be obvious?

Why is it that in ASL --every AFV always has a full crew? Sometimes they didn't in real life.

SSR: The tank has no assistant driver- so no BMG and must spend 1 extra MP for each hex entered if not using road movement rate.
SRR: The tank has no loader, so no ROF and no IF.
Isn't that what the stun is supposed to represent? Except not the driver I guess...

The Christmas Gifu from Operation Watchtower had an ssr where Japanese in a pillbox could gain HIP like in a Cave if out of LOS of a KEU. This allowed then moving through a tunnel to a still HIP PB and essentially disappearing from play. Loved it. (Though the scenario is very unbalanced)

Balance is an illusion. Fun scenarios are a reality.

I believe the term is "willing suspension of disbelief"?
I understand the system design for effect and what is playable.
In Objective Schmidt there ended up being some long range mortar battles. The 60mm not small targets and not HIP. 81mm small targets and HIP. Although it seems odd, I understand why the game system is that way.
