Have you ever used Gun Duels?

[Actionjick]

If so I would very much like to hear the results if you have. If not, why?

 

[Sparafucil3]

Too many to recall. I did destroy a Panther with an Stuart in a drive by (gyro) once.

I've probably experienced a dozen or so gun duels. Mostly on the receiving end. I think the last one I was on the losing end of a Tiger - Sherman fight. Sherman rolled up, Tiger wanted to spin and shoot but Sherman got the shot off first. Unfortunately, only a couple of players in my group regularly use gun duels.

I need to reread Jim's article again https://asl-players.net/making-sense-of-gun-duels-in-asl/ it's quite good with its examples.

Mainly, I need to put this tactic in my toolbox and be thinking of it when AFVs are roaming around.

All the time.
Used them before I started up,when crashing through bocage and sneaking up on a panther in Singling. That was when 8 discovered the immense ability of he 75 Sherman.

My dice don’t always cooperate, but I try.

Understanding gun duels is essential for decent AFV play in ASL.

Try it on me and see what happens!

White box ROF baby!

I’ve had a tie DR when the modifiers were equal, I think we both missed.

@Fort and I had that once before too. When the mods are tied, the defender gets to complete his CA changes before the roll-off. He had a Panther. I had a Sherman. Didn't go well for me from that point.

A good reminder of that specific rule point. Better keep his AL hidden until it matters to create fog of war for mods.

A pet peeve of mine is the lack of a white box for for the Cromwell that had a faster turret traverse than the Sherman.

10 seconds for 360 degrees compared to 15 for the Sherman.

MMP has upgraded the British mortar from 76* to 81*. But for that, they need to know. What have you done in the last forty years?

Complained, whinged and nursed a grudge?

With regard to Gun Duels:

I am aware of them and have a rough/hazy idea when to use them and a good idea of that they're useful and I should know better how to handle them.

As they seem not to come up too often (or I am overlooking opportunites), I have not yet rooted the rules deep enough in my mind to be able to use them without referring to the ASLRB.

If you face enemy armour and you have white rof Shermans you should always think of them. The halving of mods AND multiple hits is very powerful.
