JTG just won't let the bone go, and when I was visiting Lvncenturion in his office yesterday *he* busted my chops on the topic.
Which is ironic, since he also busted my chops for posting all that fire direction stuff...
Huh? What am I talking about?
Mortar Fire direction kit.
Which, unsurprisingly, is rather similar to artillery fire direction kit.
Here is a surveyed firing chart (that I made this weekend) which, golly gee, is fully compatible with either mortars or cannon.
In this case, I have a mortar range-deflection-protractor mounted. The major difference (and subtle if you aren't experienced with this) is that the mortar RDP has the coordinate scale (used for plotting locations) built into the instrument, vice being a separate instrument, as is common in artillery fire direction sets.
