GERMAN INFANTRY HMG CARD

Hello John,

The HMG classification is now reserved for MGs with cartridges of 12mm and larger so the German sMG42 is now classified as a MMG (but with a ROF3). 

5.1.13.1 HMG Teams: For the purpose of these rules HMGs are any MG with a cartridge 12mm and larger. The HMG has long range, ROF2 (most HMGs) and but is not very portable (on average 4 AP). If a HMG team moves, it may not fire that turn. HMGs can be used against lightly armored vehicles and Infantry. Most HMGs are eliminated after suffering 1 CP. See Infantry cards for specifics. HMGs Represented by 1 x Machinegun miniature with 3 x assistants on a medium base.


This was done in order to allow them to be able to attack 2 armor factor or less facings as per...


5.3.10.1 MG vs. Armored Vehicles: All LMG/MMGs (Infantry Team and Vehicle-mounted) may be used against vehicles with an armored facing value of 1 or less, and HMGs (12mm+) may be used against vehicles with an armored facing value of 2 or less, although ROF is always 1. When used vs. a vehicle, there is no To-Hit roll needed. Roll a d6, adding modifier for range (see Chart 10) and vehicle armor. Check Infantry cards for To-Kill#s. Use Chart 11 to determine any results.

Thanks,

Troy
