Infantry Indirect Fire
« on: 23 October 2019, 14:16:13 »
I recall hearing that infantry platoons armed with mortars can make indirect attacks, but I can't find the reference for it.  Am I imagining things, or is there a page reference for it?

Also, can conventional infantry armed with LRMs make an indirect attack, or is that restricted to "real" LRMs?

...okay, that's weird. TacOps used to have a rule allowing infantry with mortars to fire indirectly, but it seems to be missing from the latest version of the pdf.

I would ask this in the Rules Forum.

I thought that was in one of the errata - either Tech Manual or Total Warfare.

I thought the latest TacOps PDF only had a new picture but none of the latest errata?  The errata for TacOps still allows Infantry to indirectly fire mortars.
