FT273 - Viet Minh 37* Inf gun question.

[MajorDomo]

Played this last week, we had a question about INF gun.

The scenario card has the Viet Minh with a Japanese 37* inf gun, which is on a small counter (sw).

Do the Viet Minh use the inf gun with captured use penalties?

Did not find anything suggesting otherwise, but it greatly reduces the gun's value (ie the guns to hit versus the mostly stone buildings is [8 - 3 (stone bldg) - 2 (captured use penalty) = 3]. Since the gun cannot acquire, nor intensive fire, wow!

Thanks,

Rich

Yes, captured use penalties apply normally.
You can use it from a building location (no backblask) against the British armored car (Basic TK# of 7) for example.
