@oriskany I think it makes it more realistic anyway. Most tanks prefer not to reveal themselves too soon. At long range they tended to fire APCBC rounds as at this stage of the the APDS round developed accuracy issues at 500m. When firing the APCBC round the 17 pounder was really no different to a US 76.2mm firing APCBC rounds. As wargames we tend to look only at the gun rather than the munitions.

So yeah I think it was a good call to do it that way.

I don’t thick we would like the perfect wargame rules. I think it is the little bugs in the system that endears them to us or unless we had something to complain about we would not be happy.

Anyway great game guys and I will be letting @timp764 know about it so he can see the British in a large scale engagement.
