Major Belles Posted September 23, 2000 Share Posted September 23, 2000 I may be missing something in the rules, but I can't figure out what good medics are; what good are they? Also, are FOO groups specifically for spotting, nothing else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MajorH Posted September 23, 2000 Share Posted September 23, 2000 Medics don't have any special capabilities. They were added at the request of military users who wanted more detailed order of battle for exercises. If a FOO Group (or US FO) has a clear line of sight to an artillery target point, the initial arty salvo on that point will receive an accuracy bonus. ------------------ Best regards, Major H majorh@mac.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minmax Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 Major H, Does the FO also increase the effectiveness of CAS? I would like to see that added if it is not. Or could there be a FAC (A) and a regular FAC? Eitherway that is something I would like to see. Thank You Sir! ------------------ M. L.

This especially applies to the M113 ambulance. In some scenarios, the survival of infantry units is absolutely critical so the ability to keep them in transit away from danger is important. I like to think of the ambulatory units as a protective contingency for my grunts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
