Do the German Nebelwerfers count as rocket attacks and therefore create a hit zone of 30x30 cm instead of 20x20 cm?

Yes

And they are very unreliable

But awesome when they do deliver!

Why unreliable? Because of the bad command value of the FAO? Or is there some special rule about Nebelwerfers I've missed?

They always scatter, so if you're unlucky they may completely miss what you're trying to stonk!

But that's true for all types of artillery, isn't it?

Rockets ALWAYS scatter - even on a pre-designated scheduled target.

Their template is 30cm, rather than 20cm for "normal" artillery.

Their deviation is always DOUBLE the roll of 3 dice.

So, if you're spectacularly unlucky, you could miss the enemy by miles and end up with a 30cm template covering your own troops!

Ooops... Seems that I've missed some section in the rulebook.
Thanks for clarification.

Not only do they always scatter, instead of 3D6 cm, they scatter 3D6 DOUBLED if requested (still only 3D6 if scheduled).

In addition, it is -1 off the FAOs CV for each battery requested.

...all of which, you'd think, would put you off them & point you towards the 105 /150s eh?

Nah - the sense of satisfaction you get when one of these babies lands right where you want it is *amazing*...worth it every time for me

You are so wright if they strike a full hit its bey bey all thats under the template.

To avoid the -1 for the FAO when using them you use the Nebelwerfer 42 mounted on a maultier, making it selfpropeld giving you +1 so no CV restriktion -1 and +1 makes 0

Fun indeed wolfie but I usually have more fun when that bloody template of yours scatters right back into your own lines

And with 3d6x2 scatter it's ulikely you'll hit much of what you intended to hit. On the other hand everything else nearby is in grave danger...

O.K.
