The FO is active while riding on a vehicle

i played a game today that included multiple aircraft in it.  i also think that the rules that are involved in the role of aircraft are in need of some rewriting.  I lost 2 snipers and 4 snlf fanatics before i was able to take down only one of his aircraft.

I think they should only be able to attack solders in the open or on hill but not in forest cover.  When it comes to vehicles there should be a bonus on cover saves in forests

Something that has worked for me is to have one FO and three mortars placed in a line across the playing field to triangulate on either one or many targets.  Haven’t lost an FO yet

i would by it to if it was different from the original.  all of the rules and turns would have to be different to accommodate the differences in battle forms.  It is going to take longer to move and attack on the sea then on the ground.  Cover will have to be retooled obviously

That is what i was doing but someone brought up that an soldier can not use any effects while there are riding on a vehicle

I was under the impresion the it actualy fires something at the head of the RPG.  If this is true it has an amazing targeting computer.

I cant find a better article, but the technology uses a type of radar to detect and intersept the RPG and destroy the explosive part allowing the projectiles impact to be absorbed by the armor.  If it really works like they say it does it could help to protect lives.  Too bad it does not protect from land mines and improvised explosives or IED’s.  Kinda cool though.

you could just say that they can’t be targeted at long range but can be at medium and short

i found it helpfull to keep them moving and bring them out when they are needed.  Kinda like a booster to my mortars and aircraft.  They are weak though.  Maybe there should have a bonus in cover on hills.

and a sweet new year people!!!
