AA Guns against Ground Targets? Empty AA Guns against Ground Targets?

Wed May 02, 2018 9:21 am
Can Anti Air guns like the 40 mm Bofor or the 3.7" be used against ground targets?

I found nothing in the rules.

Cheers

Looking at those pictures i would say, yes, they can fire on ground targets.

Like the Germans, the Allies used their AA guns in a ground role, also the heavy 3,7" guns where not used in this role as often as the German 88 guns.
