tried searching for MG penetration factors


Recommended Posts

If this has already been discussed, I

apologize for I have tried doing the search

thing. Suffice to say, if someone can't

point me to the discussion:

In the Beta demo, I didn't notice the Squad

leader (I know CM isn't squad leader) trick

such that a machine gun can target a

squad and then apply the same die roll to

a specified number of hexes beyond it as long

as there was no change in elevation and it was in the same line of fire...

I guess this was to prove the power of a

machine gun of sweeping down an entire "alley" has this been covered in CM?

Yes it is in.

As a test why don't you try running a tank with some infantry on the back through an MGs line of fire (target the MG at some target in the distance.

The unlucky SOBs who get in the way of the line of fire on the back of the tank get riddled wink.gif.

Same goes for rounds which go over obviously but it is easier to show with a unit transecting the line of fire.

Ben, you might be correct. It was so long ago smile.gif

We also have "plunging fire". I think if you do a search on that you will find a whole lot of discussion about both.
