In a message dated 99-02-10 19:57:15 EST, you write:
<< I'd like to see towed ATG's and other non-self propelled support
weapons
just
for those reasons, i.e. Militia units and lower tech forces. Towed
weapons
could still play a useful role in certain types of terrain such as
cities,
jungles and mountains particulary if your opponent has only so much in
the
way of aerospace support and ground mobile assets to spread around.
While I
agree the weapons systems that are self-propelled can be brought to
bear more
quickly and are more likely to survive on a modern (and future)
battlefield
they may still have advantages in certain situations. Besides, doesn't
the
rule book (if not the rules) imply their use? I seem to recall an
illustration
showing a group of soldiers hauling some sort field gun into place.

In Steel Panthers II the Anti-Tank guns a very usefull idea, they work
really
well with Air Defence Vehicles and a slope that you can hide behind. I
have
done a little bit of simming with DS2 with this idea, and it works,
something
that Gawain will be using to defend its self from the NAC forces.
