Well, the PIAT has squat for range, and it's effect was so-so as an AT
weapon. Given that armor can be effected by "normal" FP attacks, I
would assume that something along the lines off a
PIAT/Panzerfaust/M-72/Bazokka/RPG is included in the squads fire power.
Which does bring up the near total lack of ATGM in Epic. Need to
thing about that. Basically a AT shot with rather _odd_ line of fire
rules but an ungodly range. (3-6 km) Got to think about that one.

Of course that would be on topic, I nobody wants that
