Close Combat:LSA GJS11 mod vs Gallows 076 Bretteville02

[@martinashley9664]

Nice battle! Question: when I’ve played GJS I often get the situation where my mortars won’t fire as the enemy is too close… that didn’t seem to be a problem here?

The minimum and maximum range of weapons is moddable. In GJS, the minimum fire range for 8cm mortars is 200m. In Radzymin, the minimum fire range for 8cm and 12cm mortars is lower; 80m, I believe.

It was the British mortars - firing across the road less than 50m away I think.

@@martinashley9664 Sorry. I don't know why I thought we were talking about a Radzymin battle. That was a light mortar. In GJS they have a shorter minimum range. I use 5cm mortars often and their minimum range is about 40m i think. They are very useful teams, great for getting close and taking out guns and for laying accurate smoke rounds, which they have a lot of.

I always thought they were weak based on calibre - but I can see the value of them now!!
