Flak 88 question

I believe that was the new starter, after they re-released the set with a consistent (and larger) vehicle scale.  There has since been several releases for the various theaters, and WotC relased new revised unit stats on PDF as well.

I’m going to stick by the explaination that a fixed weapon on a vehicle can only fire at units that could in fact fire back and hit its front armour. ie 180 degrees.

Can a spotter also spot voor arty/mortars?

The Spotter SA applies only to Aircraft.
Any units that have **Indirect Fire say so. (Currently: GE sGrW 34 81mm Mortar, SV 82mm PM-37 Mortar, US M7 105mm Priest)

Can defensive fire result in anything more then disruption?

Defencive-Fire does NOT result in a hit against the unit; it simply gives a face-up disrupted token. Having more than one face-disrupted token has no additional effect on a unit. They do not cause damage/destroyed results because They Are Not Hits.

However units can still use their Special Abilities during defencive-fire which may cause more than disruption. For example if you provoke defencive-fire from a flamethrower and it rolls three 6s, it DOES still immediately destroy the unit.

Can a disrupted vehicle change facing?

No; the rules specifically say they can’t.**

No problem.

wow that map links usefull  :wink:

I don’t recommend trading overseas.

@argarus:

yes you can. its in the rules.  look under the " Transport" in the glossary section in the  back!

Whoa! This changes everything… now I need my halftracks even more. Thanks for the info.

Changing facing doesn’t take up movement “points.”  When you get to your destination hex, you can face whichever hex side you wish.  And instead of moving to another hex, you can change facing within the same hex.

However, if you are face-up disrupted, you cannot change facing, because you cannot move.  And if defensive fire or a failed movement roll stops your movement, you must stop facing the hex you tried to enter.

For the exact rules wording, go to the Avalon Hill webpage and download the rules.
