The Foglore has a scarcity of (C/S), or Common in Nato held areas and Scarce in Pact areas.
The generic HEAT RPG-7 round from Heavy Weapons is (S/C) - Scarce in Nato areas and Common in Pact areas.
These ratings are quite likely given that Nato conducted a counter offensive into Italian held areas in late summer of 1998 after the Pact offensive was halted. (Pact forces, particularly those in Germany, conducted a "precipitous withdrawal" at this time). What this means is that Nato likely captured large amounts of supplies as the Czechs and Italians withdrew, increasing the availability of the Foglore rounds, without.

84 Carl G for its good range, variety of rounds, and strong hitting power.

Ah, I was going by the v2.2 BYB, which I believe supersedes the various handbooks when both have the same item. In which case its (R/S) which doesn't make any sense so I think that in this case, I'll agree with you and go with the scarcity in the HWH.

I voted " other " . . I'd pick up a recoilless rifle. the M 67 would be my 1st pick , Carl Gustav my 2nd pick.

Only the RPG-16 is shown in the 2.2 BYB which is why I referred to the 2.0 HWH for the RPG-7 scarcity. The RPG-16 is definitely much rarer than the RPG-7.

And much less flexibility in warheads -- The RPG-16 is basically a recoilless rifle miniaturized into an RPG, and has basically the same warhead options as the B-10. And it does not have the same industrial base -- everyone is making RPG-7s and RPG-7 rounds.

Hehheh, well I'll have to give that you west islanders might be right now and then, I would hope you have the smarts to be a fan of a real footy team like the Hawks.
