In CWC, you may only use IAFW once a turn but according to BKCII, IATW can be used as much as you want in a turn if command rolls are made. Is this right?

Yes. I assume its because you can relaod a bazooka etc as much as you can reload an ATG and each command you get through to shoot means this is so.

The problem though is the bazooka is part of the early CWC lists and according to the CWC rules IATW can only fire once per turn. Why the change?

Its some time since I played CWC so I cannot answer your point about bazookas in CWC, I suppose I think of IATW in CWC as the more advanced wire guided etc weapons, and longer range rocket weapons, of post war period in CWC.

In BKC bazookas could always fire repeatedly if orders got through. So there is no chnage in the BKC rules system only between CWC and BKC / BKC2.

Perhaps Pete would have to explain what differences he is drawing between WW2 and post WW2 IATWs?

In CWC IATGWs can only be used once per turn regardless of the number of succesful orders.

In BKC1 you get saves vs bazooka/IATW hits whereas in CWC many vehicles get no save vs ATGW/IATW.

I understand this but why is there a difference between both games when it is basically the same system.

Maybe the bazooka can be considered a marginal weapon in CWC where as it's mainstream in BCK? The rules are them writen to suit the mainstream waepons firtly in both cases.

Just my guess Smile
