I think that rof 2 arty has its place in infantry lists.Sexy Sixes - Reksiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09944922448631487995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184114086768883795.post-55106776484908421692015-10-19T06:39:34.574+02:002015-10-19T06:39:34.574+02:00I seriously agree with expensive arty not being wo...I seriously agree with expensive arty not being worthy. But very cheap options like Hungary and Finland have, and maybe medium arty support the British get for 25 points are very good for what they do for the lists. IMO.

Being able to range in with three dice and not getting a penalty to your to hit rolls is great. 15cm nebels are good value for their points and with at3 fp4+ they are only marginaly worse than a lefh18 platoon. And with nicely protected flanks, recces can't really do anything about them. Their only problem is fire in the sky rule which isn't all that to be honest.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03723369451928816791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184114086768883795.post-52790603078060713132015-10-18T13:32:08.598+02:002015-10-18T13:32:08.598+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03723369451928816791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184114086768883795.post-61682890735154640372015-10-18T13:13:15.781+02:002015-10-18T13:13:15.781+02:00Nebelwerfers are good but in missions with reserve...Nebelwerfers are good but in missions with reserves - they either die very fast when on table or do nothing when put in reserves. Big guns can handle their own well especially against recce vehicles- having AT 9+ Fp3+ helps to see the little buggers off. German Nbw wouldn`t be so great if German arty was not overpriced (210pts for 4 C/V 10.5cm guns).Vojtěchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04416625828729181524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184114086768883795.post-72210183097743478342015-10-18T09:37:51.596+02:002015-10-18T09:37:51.596+02:00Very true, however nebelwerfers seem to be an exce...Very true, however nebelwerfers seem to be an exception to the rule. For pinning/smoke all you need is a couple of mortars really at around 60 points on average. What is also great about nebs is the possibility to upgrade them with an anti-tank section.Sexy Sixes - Reksiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09944922448631487995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184114086768883795.post-48167499332069758142015-10-18T09:30:45.632+02:002015-10-18T09:30:45.632+02:00I'm still very new to the hobby, however, I th...I'm still very new to the hobby, however, I think the role of artillery is to smoke and/or pin the enemy, and break up their forces in a concentrated assault. That's why German Nebelwerfers are so highly valued - they do everything arty does, for a low points cost.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06197620903152450870noreply@blogger.com
