Hi Mark

Quote from: Big Insect on 28 July 2022, 02:53:21 PMI was very interested to hear how you got to grips with the Remote Controller optional rule. It sounds like that is exactly the right way to play it. The other thing to watch with it is the 'minimum' ranges for ATGW - even on a big table it is amazing how quickly you can find that the ATGWs are under their 'arming ranges'.

Next game will have opportunities to use remote controlled Swingfire as Brits are defending against a Soviet Tank Regt assault.  I will let you know how it goes.  Minimum range of ATGW noted but if enemy armour gets that close I expect the British Law-armed infantry to be taking out Soviet tanks!

Were you able to view the photos via the links I posted (if it worked OK, its easier to do that than post the photos themselves)

Regards

Chris

Quote from: Big Insect on 28 July 2022, 02:58:14 PMThis is poor please wording on my part (& I'll correct it in the Errata) - as the LoS bit is irrelevant, as a Recce unit doesn't need LoS to its nearest eligible 'target' enemy unit or to the nearest eligible friendly Command unit.

Thanks

HI Mark.

You have confirmed regarding recce comms action that LoS is NOT needed from recce unit to the nearest enemy target nor from recce unit to the HQ/FAC/FAO they are trying to communicate, but do they need LoS when they attempt to reconnoitre, either for pathfinding or for spotting concealed units/minefields? If they dont need LoS then rules on p32 will need amending.

LoS (as stated clearly on Page 32 is mandatory for both of these actions) as they are about surveying terrain, and are not focused on a specific enemy unit.
