Doctrinely speaking, HTs were seen to have two purposes:
1) Keeping up w/armor
and
2) Tactical ferrying of troops. Look at any WW2 manual and you will see stressed the fact that they need massive overwatch and careful movement.
The Germans normally deployed from trucks and HTs 500-1000m short of the objective.

A field brothel would be nice for raising the muldoons morale

In the American Army we still use the term. I teach very basic tactics and I can assure you it is still alive and well. I believe the WW2 term is "covering fire". Based on my Uncle Arts WW2 version of the FM 7-8, that is.

I was a Pig gunner ( and my own Assistant Gunner, which meant I got to carry my tripod, spare barrel, TE device, gloves and tools. A simply outstanding system. Easy to use, easy to maintain. A real bitch to hump.

Once you get behind them, use engineers or bazookas to blow out the back. Regular infantry can also work.
But look out for his security element protecting the pillbox.

Smoke! Use your smoke to mask youyr movement!
Suppress the pillbox with other units.
Smoke your assault teams path.
And then go in with hiopefully some engineers with demo.

Started out on 81s in 1976, humped them everywhere. They are fun to do a direct lay with!

Try a couple of snipers to help locate (they have binos) and to make the enemy armor button up.

Incase this helps, let me clarify:
1. Observers is eyes on
2. Rounds impacted approximatelt 180 over target area

I just fired some 122 rounds that landed past (over) my target. Should I compensate then by walking them back closer? I'm afraid to bracket as that looks like another 4 minute wait! Appreciate the sage advice from you indirect fire gurus.
