AT Gun Crew Casualties
?
Presumably casualties decrease
the gunners ability.
?
I think this is a good change.
?
Braking Distance
?
Probably a good idea on the basis that we are using
one to one in these rules and spacing would certainly be more realistic in the
close proximity to the front line that we are dealing with. In certain scenarios
it could be a requirement for the vehicles to be bunched - I'm thinking of those
pictures of allied vehicles waiting to move up/out after the Normandy landings.
Might depend on the air superiority position.
?
Prisoners
?
Do we need to legislate for this? At different
times troops of all nations have been reluctant to take or?mistreat
prisoners - victors justice and all that. This should be scenario driven and
rely on the commander "role-playing" the situation.
?
You could put in the ratio of guards
required.

AT GUN CREW CASUALTIES
AT Crew loses are currently
reflected in an increase in ability to
hit thier target.? This was
meant to reflect the stress caused by
losing comrades, and the fact that
aimed fire when under foire
themselves was less likely.?
HOWEVER.? I have been thinking of revising that.? What I now
propse
is that AT gun crews will still suffer as above, but only on
wounds.?
Killed crew members will reduce the initiative of the
unit.? AT guns
have crews of either 4 or 5 men, depending on
nationality.? They have
three initiative dice as standard.? What
I propose is that when
reduced to two cremen alive this will fall to two
initiative dice,
when one crew man to one initiative dice.? This will
reflect the
extra time needed to laod and lay the gun, and will result in
more
snap shots, which again reflects pressure as above.
BRAKING
DISTANCE
Essentially designed to stop us cramming vehicles bumper to
bumper
along a road.?
While in convoy along a roiad slow and
average speed vehicles will
always keep a gap between themselves and the
vehicle in front equal
to or greater than their own length.? Fast and
wheeled vehicles will
keep double their length distance .?
This would be ignored once in combat, i.e. being fire on or firing
themselves.? Perhaps we need to consider the likelyhood of trucks
that come under fire crashing itno each other??? However I think
a
quick dice throw may be better used there.?
PRISONERS
After much wailing and nashing of teeth from Sid, who
apparently has
spent many a long evening soul searching consolated only by
a bottle
of cheap cooking sherry, a prisoners rule.? That is,
everyone must
take prisoners, and guard them at a ratio of 1 guard to 5
POWs.? The
exception here is known nasty troops, such as SS, Japs,
Russians
etc.? and then the player may request to do so, but will
have to roll
against a target on a D6.?
