Hi all
a quick question about on table support.
Given the scale of a 1/72 20mm game is it really approriate to use indirect fire on the table top ?
Whilst I'd see the logic in mortars being used I just don't think a 150mm howitzer battery would ever really fire indirect at the ranges used in the average game.
By all means take these guns but only as direct fire weapons. If you want 150mm indirect support it should be bought as an off table asset.
This would at least avoid the very gamey situation of the back table edge being lined with artillery guns so they can fire over there minimum indirect distance.
Before everyone gets anoyed because it means you can't use your fantastically painted and modelled howitzers, dont worry. Just put them on a shelf in the hallway next to your games room for real range authenticity!!!
