TBlaster Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 I'm playing a PBEM game against a friend and he is using 60mm mortars at night with no LOS. How can he do this? Not spotters, but onmap units. None of his command units could possibly have eyes on site (rounds started falling in the first 10 seconds of the game).

Colin Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 Not completly sure but it could be a Target Reference Point. ------------------ And if we abandon any platform, I can assure you it will not be the Macintosh. -Steve My website! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 With no LOS I think it might be easier to fire at night. It would be easier to see the muzzle flashes of enemy troops and guns. During the day you wouldn't be able to use those as targeting points because they wouldn't be noticeable. ------------------ The names Ash, Housewares [This message has been edited by Ash (edited 08-04-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBlaster Posted August 5, 2000 Author Share Posted August 5, 2000 You are right...that bastard is using TRP's in the attack! (custom made scenario) Thanks, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patboivin Posted August 5, 2000 Share Posted August 5, 2000 Not totally unrelated, I am playing a scenario now in a snowstorm, and my 3 inch mortar is totally useless. On the one hand I can't fire at anything closer than about 115m; on the other hand I can't see more than 50m away... and I can't target things that aren't in my LOS for some reason. I tried to use a leader to augment the LOS range, but 50m + 50m is still less than 115m, so no success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am playing a scenario in a snowstorm (at night) and can't see past my nose. I have a mortar crew baking cookies in a house out the back of the scenario. But I was able to spray mortar rounds about earlier in the game because I had an FO for 81mm mortars. He couldn't see squat, but he was able to place indirect fire out of his LOS. Not that it did me much good, eh Pat? :^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
