On-map Mortar C2 Question


Recommended Posts

I'm currently playing the Hell in the Hedgerows campaign mission. Each of the two company HQs has an 81mm mortar attached to it. Currently these mortars and the company HQs are out of visual contact and non-radio voice contact with all platoons on the map. A couple of the platoon HQs show they have no radio in their inventory, yet they are able to access these two 81mm mortars without any issues. Bug, or working as intended?

It's the way things are. Units (or the individuals within them at least) that are eligible to call arty can always do so as long as they remain alive and on-board. Presence of radio isn't considered in whether they can call for indirect fires. Perhaps they've been trailing a wire (which isn't represented in the map, but C2 does consider as an abstraction)?

Where are these two platoon HQs? IIRC, vehicles with radios will allow this. Are they themselves in C2 with their company HQ?

These platoon HQs are about halfway across the map from their company HQs, and the status panel shows they are not in C2 with the company HQ. There are no friendly vehicles on this map.
