(Research) Mortars and TAG on same unit
« on: 20 February 2024, 13:57:52 »
References: "TAG", Total Warfare, pg 142-143, "Indirect Fire", BattleMech Manual pg. 30-31, 'Mech Mortars', TacOps: AUE pg. 136


TacOps: AUE states that mech mortars may be fired indirectly without blocked LOS, with a +2 to hit modifier if a spotter hasn't been designated. Because they don't require LOS, a situation arises where a unit might be equipped with both TAG and Mech Mortars. In that situation:

  • Can the unit use its TAG to spot for its own mortar fire?
  • If so, does the unit incur a +1 to hit modifier for spotting and shooting during the same turn?


Also apologies, couldn't decide if this was better here or under the TacOps subform.
