Bombardment units in assault hexes

[goosebrown]

The point of mentioning them was to consider how BF translated into a DF which would be used IN hex....
looking for equivalent DF units using the same weapon....

So when we think about Bombardment units, and consider If they might fire IN hex---what would their DF be if doing so?
That is what we were talking about---so comparisons of weapons which occur in both BF and DF forms provides insight....(that is my hypothesis...)

Actually that was the secondary point. In at least 2 previous posts, infantry guns were included mortars and howitzers. I think that is wrong (incongruous was the term I used), hence the question.

There is however a comparison to be made.

These 2 weapons are basically the same. The mountain howitzer is the later model infantry gun with a slightly different carriage.

I get your point although the research side of me (the googlizer in me...) says they are not the same at all in terms of actual function. The IG had a ROF twice that of the mountain gun with a propellent charge half the weight of the mountain gun. The velocity on the IG was also less than half that of the mountain gun. I can see how the mountain gun ought to have some DF value in assault, but the functionality of the IG was absolutely more suited for it. 

I propose above that an Assault value of .5 the bombardment value of an artillery gun might be a good start for a house rule. I could go for that. But not mortars or rockets.
