RE: [SGII] Mortars questions

>How do you guys handle mortar's in a game of SGII? I am thinking that
two 
mortars per company (at battalion level) is probably a reasonable level
of 
support,

I use 3 light mortars at the company level plus another 3/company at
battalion--that might be a little more than usual.

>but with an observer at company level, with specialist equipment 
this produces a dead on hit except when a 1 is rolled for observation
and or 
accuracy, this is usally pretty devastating to infantry.

It's pretty unhealthy for infantry to be standing around in the open
when the mortars land around them, yes.  Get under cover, use EW to
interfere with the calls for fire support, shoot the observer.

>How many actions of fire would you allow per game? How long between 
re-loading/re-suply?

Reloading is quick so you must mean resupply.  Mortar bombs for a light
mortar weight about 2kg each so you could carry quite a few in a
vehicle, unless by scenario design you want to limit it.  Manpacked
mortars would be limited, depend on how many guys you want to assign to
the crew.

>Are there any counter battery rules (is this realistic for mortars?)
