Setting up Ordnance in buildings - G6 Rockets Red Glare

[Count Belisarius]

Hi,

I'm due to play G6 Rockets Red Glare this evening (in about 7 hours) and while at work I'm trying to look at setup options - while on my tea break, of course . I don't have the scenario card or RB with me so I'm relying on the VASL setup file.

Anyway, just need to clarify one point. Can I set up the 105 ART in a building? Seem to remember there are some restrictions based on gun size that may restrict this?

As I don't have the rulebook to hand can someone advise, please?

Cheers

Andy

The relevant rule you're looking for is this:

A non-vehicular weapon on a 5/8" counter may be set up or pushed into a building/rubble only if it is either a small target (C2.271) or an AT/INF Gun that is not a large target.

So you can only set up ART Guns that are small targets. I don't have the counters here, but I doubt your 105mm ART is a small target...

Thanks Ole.

Just played this tonight. Excellent scenario and a good win for me as the Germans. It looked like it was going wrong around Turn 4 but my sniper stepped in to save the day, helped out by a HE CH with the Stug and two Snakes as he approached the victory buildings. Never even got to fire my 105!

Good fun!

I'm not sure but I think if the building location is fortified it might make a difference.

You're right.

Any type/target size of Gun may set up in the ground level of a Fortified Building but may not fire at Aerial targets or use Indirect Fire. No 5/8" weapon counter may be moved into a Fortified Building during play.

Note that setting up in a superior fortified level is only allowed in a stone multihex building for a Gun - and it may only be ART/AT/INF >= 76mm calibre (B23.93 also).
