Is there a blizzard? Aim a barrage at nearby Campfires in sectors controlled by your enemy-there are likely units clumped near the fire, and destroying the Campfires is useful in itself.Did you opponent place an HMG in a building? Hammer the building with steady fire until the HMG leaves or the building is completely destroyed.Is your opponent harassing a nearby sector? Use the standard barrage ability and hopefully force the infantry squad to Retreat.Do you have a damaged vehicle attempting to limp away while an Anti-tank (AT) gun fires at it? Fire a smoke barrage somewhere between the vehicle and the AT gun to stop the attack.If your opponent has an HMG in a troublesome position, fire a smoke barrage in front of the HMG and charge it with infantry-you’ll be able to run past and flank the HMG before it can attack your squad.Mortars have more uses than this, though. As the weapon team tutorial teaches you, Mortars work well when paired with Heavy Machine Guns (HMGs) to do damage to suppressed or pinned units.
