I hope this is the right place to ask this, given this is mainly for full thrust but: Does anyone know if Heavy Anti-material rifles are small arms vs AFVs? (I hope yes otherwise they are better than MDC1s) Does anyone have any ideas about how to handle infantry close assault vs armour? Thanks in advance

With out getting political. Molotovs in Northern Ireland, Chianaman Sq. China were cases of 'close assault against armour'. Stopping an MBT would be difficult however an APC/MICV is another ball game. Anti armour genades or things into suspension. Did anybody remember in the termintor movie the close assault scene where the humans used those charges to take out the tracked hunter killer. If thats not close assualt what is! ---------- From: FTGZG-L[SMTP:FTGZG-L@bolton.ac.uk] Sent: 25 September 1996 14:49 To: FTGZG-L Cc: A.Delafield Subject: RE: stargrunt Date sent: 25-SEP-1996 14:44:53 > I hope this is the right place to ask this, given this is mainly for This is the place. > Does anyone know if Heavy Anti-material rifles are small arms vs AFVs?
