The montagnard was a Mr Silk IIRC, he left with the POW captured during the inital landing at X-ray.

The reference to the AC-47 "Dragonship", is intresting becuase Hall Moore dosen't mention one, What he does mention was a C-47 flare plane.

Yes,

This might be a problem... FLARES!!!

How do we simulate this??
Maybe if we have a FO with high vision values (40+)?

Thoughts?

Not 40+. Otherwise he'd look through smoke as well.

The best way to I can see is have the visablity higher than it normaly would be.

The Montagnard was a Mr Nik.

What about (Heavy) Machineguns (Co support weapons) ?

OOB:
Rifle companies:
3x Rifle platoons.
1x Mortar Platoon.

Each paltoon had three rifle squads, and an M60 support squad, with 2 M60's.

1x Mortar platoon, with three 81mm's.

D Coy:
1x mortar platoon.
1x MMG Platoon.
1x Anti-tank platoon (swapped to a 2nd MMG Platoon).
Recce Platoon.

I belive that the total M60's in D coy was 9.

Thanks David,

Then what about the info concerning that each Co (A, B, C) would carry one mortar with full ammo?

I guess we follow that and then we add the 3x 81mm from Co D to a total of 6x 81mm.
By the way, has anyone checked how much lethal is mortar firing?
