Too Fat Lardies

3) The Soviets have both a Satchel Charge in list one and a dedicated Tank Killer team in list two. Does this team come with a charge? What small arms does this team come with? Is this a single man 'team'? The number of men isn't specified. That one's in the FAQ: Soviet Tank Killer Teams should be ...

Also Westwind, but it will only let me put two links in a message!

Specifically the ones in the rulebook are good for the period about late '43 through to near the end of '44.

If you want later than that try the campaigns Bloody Bucket and Road to Bremen. That second one is really late in the war with some pretty rag-tag German forces.

However for the core game, as has already been said, it's 3 JOP's per side and a mix of 3/4 Patrol Markers per side depending on the scenarios. Most of the time that'll be ok, but there are exceptions. For the Flank Attack and Attack on Objective you'll need a fourth JOP for the defender, and Flank...

You'll need to make four JOPs because some scenarios use a fourth, but normally you'll only use three.

You'll need six patrol markers. The Flank Attack scenario uses two groups of three.

You could, however, consider using the Advanced Rule on page 70 which would require a Leader to be within Line of Sight as well as within command range if you felt this was too generous.

See, Rich saw your question coming years ago!

I agree with Jim. I think you're being a bit too literal in your reading of this one TT.

We play that infantry sections are distinct from armour in how they may be issued orders by SL and JL etc. Does this also extend to mortar fire? Or if a tank can see an enemy target, does that same target become eligible for mortar fire from an infantry team? To date we have restricted spotters to ...

They get them if the troops had them in real life. The countries that did issue smoke grenades gave them to infantry as well as combat engineers. To be honest, in real life they're mostly used for signalling. They don't really put out enough smoke for obscuration, but something is better then nothing.

Yes there are rules to stop it and I quoted both of them. It says not use CI it does say not use CI for certain things. What it says is that when the JL moves or fires on the 2, he can't then use his CIs that turn. If he doesn't move or fire on the 2, then what is stopping him from activating on a ...
