2 Questions, 1 for on-table artillery and one for vehicle morale.
Wed Sep 18, 2019 6:02 pm
Hello again!
Like title said, I have 2 questions.
1. I need some clarification about on-table artillery bought from "Artillery units". If I get 2 Sextons can they use supressive/aimed fire just like other tanks or are they only capable to fire indirect artillery fire? And if they are capable to use supressive fire do they need a line of sight to location they're firing at? Is it possible just shoot some target anywhere on the table needing 3+ to cause coversave?
2. About those nasty german 20mm autocannons against my beloved Shermans… They can penetrate Shermans armour with AP (AP 2 against K needs 11 on 2D6) but more likely get glancing hit and cause a morale test since tank didn't get destroyed. Now on morale section it says: Armoured vehicles don't have to test morale against hits from Small arms. 20mm guns are listed under the "Small arms rate of fire" chart so I assume they're Small arms. But do I need to test morale against their hits if I survive the hit in the first Place?
Thanks in advance!

1. Yes, you can fire direct (aimed or supressive) if you have LOS. If you don´t have LOS, you can´t.
2. yes, your Sherman rolls for moral as if were a non-penetrating hit from an AP shot.

1. Direct 'aimed' and 'suppresive' fire requires LOS
2. German 20mm autocannon has a small arms ROF for shooting infantry, but if firing at a vehicle has a ROF 1 using it's AP value (There's a good write-up in the recent FAQ on how autocannons work)
