The key is the Brumbar’s blast ability… without it bombardment does not allow a unit to attack a unit with superior camouflage at med or longe range… as Mot points out it’s only possible if blast targets another unit.

Blast is also useful to target units on transports which normally are not allowed to be targets.

DF described the shaped charg/plasma jet perfectly. The space between the schurtzen and the tank did dissipate the plasme jet to the point of ineffectiveness. When in the air it becomes a cone and quickly losses it’s energy. In steel it remains focused and powers on. Certain ceramics sap it’s heat so fast it begins to solidify. That’s where Chobham armor got it’s start. Too bad for us the Brits didn’t invent it until the war had been over for 20 - 25 years.

Dismounting into the same hex as the vehicles will not trigger DF, and you covered why in your descussion very well.

@sharps54 Are you still looking for players? I live in Fredericksburg. We have a group that meets regularly in Woodbridge to play A& A. We usually play a variant called Bloodbath, as well as Global 40, 1914, and Anniversary.
