You need to remember the time scale of an ASL senario. In real terms a whole game is a matter of a few hours. So the time does not exist to find rope to jury rig a way to tow the gun.


A half squad or a crew is all that is reguired to mmanhandle a gun. Movement cost is doubled for the for each hex. In addition as each hex is entered a die roll is carried out to see if that as far the gun can pushed that turn. Each extra crews or half squads (for example the other part of the full squad) give a bonus to the die. Any terrain none clear terrain gives a negative to the die. The crews or squads pushing the gun cannot do anything else in the turn.


In real terms in the short period of game a gun could be pushed a few hexes only.

A crew or half squad with a leader in the open can move the gun 3 (4 if they rest every second turn) hexes max. Addition crews and squads do not allow the gun to pushed faster but instead mean it is less likely that terrain will stop them. It is possible that the gun will move less then 3 hexes if the crew fails the die (they are just to weak). Regardless of the amount terrian crossed it will be the only action the squads or crews or crew carry out that turn.

My squad and the leader could like push it 2 (maybe 3) hexes in turn but that will be the only thing they will be doing. My squad would have to leave the mortar behind while pushing.


If I fire the gun I have a +2 on the die roll to jam the gun. I have a 4 penality to hit a target. My accuracy at longer range then 6 hexes also suffers.


To sum up

If an HQ crew cannot be spare to man the guin it is worthless to us.

If a leader cannot be spare to supervise the pushing of the gun, max speed will be 2 hexes in clear terrain.
