not if firing from the NCA (B30.113): the NCA TEM is considered zero for CH resolution)Well .. one of my opponents love just sitting there taking pot shots at pillboxes with the mortar .. with the high rate of fire you might get a few SANs but you might also get a critical hit or two in which case the + mods reverse themselves with double the MTR (non area) firepower!
The mods on the NCA TEM for a CH is treated as zero, not reversed [B30.113]. The NCA TEM is always used by Indirect Fire, which includes MTRs. The MTR FP is still doubled for a CH.Well .. one of my opponents love just sitting there taking pot shots at pillboxes with the mortar .. with the high rate of fire you might get a few SANs but you might also get a critical hit or two in which case the + mods reverse themselves with double the MTR (non area) firepower!

Hehe, gotta love those ASL moments:My opponent just turned me onto this in a recent game.
The idea that you could destroy infantry inside a pillbox by firing a 50mm MTR at it from outside its covered arc is honestly quite ridiculous. Unless there was a pile of HE ammunition stacked next to it.Hehe, gotta love those ASL moments:
A (delighted with relief):
"Hah! I have just beaten you to smithereens. Nothing left of that one, pal."
B (with that half begnin, half relenting smile):
"Hold on a sec. It might have just escaped you that as per rule [destruction of all your joy] you are in error. So in fact I am unharmed. Besides, I think you triggered my Sniper just there."

Could be they all stepped out for a smoke. It's not for no reason that they say smoking is bad for your health.The idea that you could destroy infantry inside a pillbox by firing a 50mm MTR at it from outside its covered arc is honestly quite ridiculous.

Did most pillboxes have No Smoking signs inside? That is vital and new information!Could be they all stepped out for a smoke. It's not for no reason that they say smoking is bad for your health.

“No Farting” signs, yes, “No Smoking” signs, not in all countries.Did most pillboxes have No Smoking signs inside? That is vital and new information!
Well THAT seems narrow minded and humorless.....“No Farting” signs, yes,
Right next to the "fasten seatbelts" sign. Also, tampering with the smoke detector in the lavatory is a federal crime.Did most pillboxes have No Smoking signs inside? That is vital and new information!
The Germans were more into State Crime than Federal Crime.Right next to the "fasten seatbelts" sign. Also, tampering with the smoke detector in the lavatory is a federal crime.

If they're powered by gasoline, maybe.Would manning some artillery pieces require prohibition of smoking?
