link Do your favorite rules allow for bazooka armed spottter aircraft? |

Lemmee see…
Tiger II, top armor 2.
Bazooka, AT 10.
OK, go right to Firepower.  Sounds better than the infamous Fallschirmjaeger Necromancer to me! |

It should be a very simple conversion.
Wire or glue some brass tubing or rod to the struts.

That's *GREAT*! Imagine the report the poor Tiger commander had to make to his superior… "Vell, der vas dis little Ami plane zirkling, and den…" |

Six bazookas on the wings, loaded before he took off. Toggle switch in the cabin.
I would not want to try to reload in flight.
I wonder how often he actually did his day job, you know, actually spotting for artillery? No need to ask "Why didn't we try this with more than one guy?", because I think we know the answer for that. When anyone tries to claim that HIS rules are complete and realistic, ask him if he has a "Bazooka Charlie" rule. |

You all might like to check out the thread "Bazookas on Piper Cubs" I created back in Feb of 2010,
TMP link There is also information on the German Panzerfaust armed aircraft. Robert |

Damn. Unless the new version counts them as some kind of special bows, I don't think DBA allows them. Hordes of the Things, on the other hand, almost certainly has an appropriate category. All the best, John. |

DBA doesn't even allow the Khmer elephants with ballistae :P Hmm, but they would work very nicely in BloodBowl : 3 |

Here I thought that *I* had discovered this.
However, there I am on YOUR TMP link, commenting on ot. Memory is the first thing to go! |

There is a person in every war who is an exception to all the rules. |

"When anyone tries to claim that HIS rules are complete and realistic, ask him if he has a "Bazooka Charlie" rule." Realism does not require a rule for every eventuality. In my rules 'bazooka charlie' is factored in:) |

Fiddlers Green has a paper model of the L-4 that can be scaled to any size and printed, the folder includes an American, British, and Air Ambulance version.
link If you sign up with Fiddlers Green, you get 3 free models, but sadly the L-4 isn't on that list.  So now I have paper models of the Colditz Glider, ME-109, and DaVInci's Airscrew, and the L-4 |

A field grade officer explains it. My dads buddy was a low life lieutenant and he couldn't hold on to a BAR. Inspecting officers were always confiscating them. Unfortunately, there were a lot of them laying around and it was never a problem to police up a new one. |
