I have found where in the BKC II rules it mentions that artillery only hits AFVs on sixes, but I haven't been able to find anywhere a mention of the use of mortars (on-table, like 81mm) against AFVs -- whether it's effective/allowed, what AFVs are only hit on sixes, whether "hits" only cause suppressions instead of regular hits, or anything else like that I suspect is in there somewhere.

Can anyone here help me by pointing me to the right page?

Thanks!

See p.140 for the score to hit.

Ahah! I knew you must have put it in there somewhere, Pete. Thank you!

For future reference, should anyone search for this topic, on Pg. 140 (the Summary page), it states:

Weapons: off-table artillery fire, on-table mortars, and infantry guns using Indirect Fire vs. open-AFVs
Hit On: 5-6

Weapons: off-table artillery fire, on-table mortars, and infantry guns using Indirect Fire vs. full-AFVs
Hit On: 6

And on pg. 136, under "Changes & Additions" from BKC I, under Artillery Support, it reads:

Artillery and mortars using indirect fire now cause hits against fully-armoured vehicles.
