Subject: DSII - Freefall bombs
Does anyone know what the effect of freefall bombs in dirtside is? I've looked through the whole book & couldn't find which effect to use. It only seems to list the artillery barrages. 'Neath Southern Skies ********************* Ortillery, rich man's artillery.

It I do believe that they are treated just like artillery barrages of the same type. They come in Anti-personnel, Anti-armour and General Purpose when you purchase them, I believe, and they are dropped like an open-sheaf barrage if I remember correctly.

I know it explains how it works in the DFO section of air attacks, but what it doesn't list what blast area is used to resolve the fire (2 inch, 3 inch?) 'Neath Southern Skies ********************* Ortillery, rich man's artillery. > -----Original Message-----

> I know it explains how it works in the DFO section of air attacks, but Same as that used by an artillery barrage, I think, which is a 2" radius template. Pretty sure that's what they use. I can't remember how many chits you draw for each target of the DFO attack though.

I use them quite regularly. When you design an aerospace vehicle, allow 4 cap. for each DFO you want. On a single attack, you may drop as many DFO pods as you want of either type at a single point. Area of effect is 2". Draw two(?) chits for each DFO dropped. An important distinction between DFOs and artillery is that all the DFOs count as a single attack, ie. 3 DFOs cause 6 chits to be drawn at once. With artillery you would make 3 draws of 2(3?) chits. This, IMO makes DFOs more effective for taking out important targets, and artillery more important for suppression/harassment. > 'Neath Southern Skies Cheers,
