Hi Forum

I love BKC  - prefer it to CWC (which in my opinion lumps too many vehicles and weapons together with the same value), and wish to play a post war 1950/60s scenario using WW2 kit, but with RCLs - the 57mm M18 and 75mm M20, which was common as third world artillery.

Can anyone supply me with playable A/T and C/P for these weapons?

Thanks

Cop- out - I'd go with Bazooka from BKC for the 57, and Bazooka from CWC for 75. Ranges - 500m (25cm) and 50cm respectively, with the H designation.

Best to ask on the SMP forum.

Thanks Ian, but the M19 , 57mm did not have the armour penetration of the bazooka, hence it will require a lower A/T value, whilst the C/P will be much higher which explains why the RCL stayed around for so long in armouries.  The reports from Korea highlighted the M19 as ideal for taking out bunkers and fixed positions.  It is also very light and man portable.

Not quite. You could perhaps add 1D to both, but stayed in service more because they were cheap and available, whilst the 57mm would be more accurate. If they are in CWC then you could port the values over.

Just checked the Korean War lists in CWC - M20, 57 and 75mm RCL all have 3 AD, its just the range that differs.

Thanks Ian ! - will let the dice do the rest.

Asked on BKC forum - from the author :-

2/40 and 3/60? or 60 and 80 for the 57 and 75 respectively.

Thanks for taking the trouble.  In haste, as I am painting my new Pendrakens.
