Latest conundrum

 

Greetings Lard Fans!

The Shutzen Regiments attached to Rommel's 7 Panzer Division had
apparently acquired extra MG34s to the extent that most of their
squads had two rather than one of these weapons. In the rules there
is already an allowance for units that have a large number of
automatic weapons, such as Machine Pistols or assault rifles, which
gives them an additional firing dice at short range. Indeed this was
designed to cover short range assault weapons. My thoughts re the
extra LMGs is that an extra firing dice should be added at any
range. Any thoughts?

Secondly, the British, Empire and Commonwealth Unversal bren carrier
may clearly act independently. Were this weapon belt fed it would
fire as a crew served MG in a vehicle, however it is not. Having a
relatively small magazine restricts its firepower. So rather than
firing with 3 or 4 dice, I am inclined to restrict it to 2 dice, or 2
dice plus two for a higher quality unit. Equally this could also
apply to the tripod mounted brens used as support weapons by the
Regiments in the Rifle Corps rather than the heavier Vickers.

Felicitations in Lard

Sorry lardies,

its not command mission, its combat mission.

IABSM Sieg im West

 

Gents, the Sieg in West 1940 supplement is now complete, I am
currently sorting out an historical scenario for next Tuesday, copies
will be available for perusal. Next should be an Overlord
supplement, the title "Saving Ryan's Privates" being likely.

Other supplements planned include North Africa, Finland 1939-40, Ost
Front and Death of the Reich - Bulge to Bunker.

With Egg's stuff going back I have seized the nettle and sent
a "small" list to Skytrex - ouch! This means that I shall have the
following, when painted!

British 1940
French 1940
Dutch 1940
German 1940

Welcome to the House of Lard

 

As moderator for the group welcome to anyone and everyone who is
using any Too Fat Lardies product. This discussion group will allow
us to keep you informed of rule developments and new products, whilst
allowing you to tell us what you like and don't like about the
rules. This site has been created so questions can be answered by
the rule writers themselves, and hopefully take the guess work out of
iterpretting our dreadful use of the English language.
