We all know the navel term of "Make smoke"...
But, part fact part Myth, how much was pure navel, how much was "ANY Battlefield".
I was talking to a neighbour who is just old enough to remember the Great War (WW1) and he has said that they regularly made smoke to disguise cannon fire....
Sound like a bloody good idea to me.
Send a few guys out to build bonfires, light the thing, throw on some greenery to make it smoke, and then GTF outa there in case you attract attention, and light another one somewhere else....
Soon as you have smoke disguising gun positions, call in fire, knowing the other side cant see you?....
So I have to question, is this a regular occurrence thing, 'cos its the first time I though this one through....
And as for my mob, we just flew over the top, we didnt do front line stuff.....
