Steve, your explanation of how's things are hinges on the best use of ATGs, in CM, is in prepared positions, you go on to say that re-enactors swivelling a gun is an unrealistic example, because in real life, for instance, the ground would be uneven - there would be logs/boulders in the way to inhibit the rotation of the gun. Well, in a prepared position (your preferred location for a gun in CM) surely there we be no such obstacles, because the position has, well, been prepared........
I'm glad you're looking at this, I'm not expecting miracles - but some change is needed.
