The mortar was at the edge of the woods on the tree line so we didn’t see any issue with firing from there. I don’t think CoC has a rule for flamethrowers in a wood in terms of any after effects, I think it only covers buildings and we didn’t factor anything in.The Tactical Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980190745315043364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-64197895285623828582023-04-05T22:33:50.600+10:002023-04-05T22:33:50.600+10:00Enjoyed all your campaigns but this has to be the ...Enjoyed all your campaigns but this has to be the most challenging one yet, with the potential for things to collapse very quickly for the Germans. Couple of questions if you don't mind, would the British mortar have been able to fire from within a wood and also what after effect would the flamethrower of had being used within a wood, eg visibility or impassibility due to heat and smoke? Thanks once again for sharing your superb reports with us.

The impact of the 'voluntary withdrawal' on the German OOB was quite harsh and makes me shudder at the thought of what a 'forced withdrawal' would do. The Brits took quite a hit on their core platoon - makes me wonder why 'sacrificial' sections from the support list weren't selected to lead the way.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945117682726535259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-3002666988419536492023-04-03T08:01:39.096+10:002023-04-03T08:01:39.096+10:00Thanks Dennis.
