No prob. Sorry it took me so long to get back to this.

I'm not especially fond of the low lethality of the flechette hits, but 8-grain projectiles aren't going to do a lot of damage individually. Let me know how it works out in play and I may take a look at adjusting that to represent multiple individual projectiles with each Frag "hit."

Afghanistan (and to a lesser degree, Iraq) has taught the west that their high-tech toys and gadgets might not be worth the money spent on them.

The old recoiless systems are bloody good and very effective against the kind of positions the taliban like to fight from. There is nothing in the world quite as fascinating as the ingenuity of the average soldier.

Back in the Falklands the Paras used the Milan anti-tank missles as bunker-busters against the argies (who had a distinct lack of tanks).

They did have some of these though,



Yeah yeah, they only had 12* of them and the 66mm LAW rocket can stop them pretending to be little tanks and the M2 Browning can turn them into Swiss cheese but still...
And those Milans were probably getting close to their use-by date so somebody had to fire them off before they went bad...






* 6 at Port Stanley and 6 at Moody Brook. Vehicle in question is the Panhard AML-90
