M2 60mm Mortar ammo availability dates.

[skarper]

Hi - No rule book any more - I did own one long ago but it has passed out of my hands now.

I understand the M2 60mm could fire HE, WP and IR during WW2 - but only HE was available in Normandy.

When did the WP and IR become available? I know it's on the back of the counter but I don't have them any more either!

Hoping someone can help with what the rules say and what the reality was if this was different...

The rules for the counter is WP in 1945. IR is always available.

The 5 next to WP7 indicates the availability in 1945.

Much appreciated. Thanks. I did look in VASL but it did not have the ammo info on the reverse of the counters.

The Ctrl-I (or the contextual menu, under Information) lists the indications on the reverse of the counter.

In VASL, click on the MTR counter to open the context menu. Then select 'Show Info' from the list. Works for all Guns and Vehicles and will show you special ammo and other things.

Just ninja'ed by Robin...

Ah - I knew there was a way but could not find it. I downloaded VASL just to check but have deleted it now - I never play ASL now.
