Advanced Squad Leader Tutorial #28 - Resolution vs. Infantry/Guns

While Parts 1 & 2 of the To Hit Boot Camp series touched on the process of hitting and destroying vehicles, this Part 4 focuses on resolving hits against Infantry and Guns. In it I use the same map layout as the previous parts but look at several simple examples of guns and mortars targeting other infantry and guns in woods and a building, with emphasis on the use of the Infantry Target Type (ITT) and Area Target Type (ATT). Vehicle Target Type (VTT) is not covered as it was covered in Part 1 (Boot Camp #25).

This was very helpful! Funny seeing all the corrections, even in a prepared tutorial like this. I play mostly solo and often times the most satisfying games are the ones I feel have been the most accurate application of the rules, regardless of the outcome. Thanks for doing this.

Another great presentation. In your final installment, please include examples of "star" targets (unarmored vehicles) using the IFT. These boot camp videos are much appreciated.

Thanks Neal. At 16:54 you are discussing the small target size of the gun and saying your shot would have missed...however you are using a mortar which must use area fire. Small target is NA

just learned mortars last night think....How long do the target acquistion markers stay in the hexes?

Neal - at 24:08, the 75L gun can not fire again (except intensive fire) since its first shot used the Area Target Type, correct? Only mortars get to fire with the ATT and keep ROF. Great refresher video!
