Re: [DSII] Infantry Mortars

Hi,

A GEV vehicle shouldn't need to be amphibious as well. I know the
temptation is to always max out the armour, but if these vehicles
are being shot at you have other problems to worry about.

If I wanted a mortar for my infantry groups, I would probably
just make a lightweight dedicated vehicle, using the space that
you are using for the infantry for more ammo. The ammo mix would be
1 smoke, 3 hef and 1 mak.

For true infantry mortars, I would probably just make them in
a fixed emplacement. The only time they would move would
be if they were overrun or otherwise seriously threatened. I
doubt that the ammo would go with them...
