We played an Iran-Iraq War game yesterday and my opponent was surprised to find ‘Artillery Chemicals’ absent from the list on page 93 of available assets for his Iraqis. Should it be available (I’m pretty sure it should but there’s nothing in the errata)?

I thought they were only aircraft delivered, which is on the list.

GlobalSecurity.org (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/wa... suggests the chemicals were could be deliverable by artillery tube too (near the foot of the page under ‘Special Weapons’). That was just a quick Google so I can’t speak for the reliability of the source. I’ve no idea (or preference) what the answer might be – just told my opponent I’d raise it for him.

I know they can be delivered by artillery, I just seem to remember that the Iraqis only used aircraft.

Fair enough - I'll pass it on.
