Bazookas - which way do I point that thing?

[Scott B]

Since the bazooka rules are outside the Scenario 2 rules set, a brief discussion may be in order.  Bazookas, along with their cousins Panzerfaust and Panzershreck are shaped-charge weapons (SCW.)  The SL rules differ slightly depending on target type (Infantry or Vehicles) but they apply to all SCW.

Against Infantry

• Use the TH table on back of the counter
• Add +2 for moving or +2 for concealed
• Do not apply the -2 adjacent modifier.
• Leaders may modify TH roll

• Resolve a hit on the 6 column of the IFT.
• Do not modify for PBF (x2) or Moving Firer (x1/2), resolve as 6 IFT in both cases.
• Do 1/2 for a concealed target.
• Do add TEMs such as walls, buildings, woods, moving in open ground, etc.

Against Vehicles

• Use the TH table on back of the counter
• Add +2 for moving, +2 for concealed, +2 Hull Down
• Do not apply the -2 adjacent modifier.  
• Add  TEMs such as buildings, woods, hedges, etc to the TH roll.
• SCWs had a tendency to pre-detonate when hitting an obstacle.
• Leaders may modify TH roll
• Resolve a hit on the appropriate column of the AFV TK table.
