Light howitzer is an awesome gun. Cheap, d6 HE at +2 pen. Can fire direct and indirect. A must take for all games. Unless you have a medium howitzer, which is even better. 2d6 at +3, cheap point wise, awesome.
I think I'd go for the pin on the lower roll of 3+ (or modifiers up to 6) and turn one of the opponents troops into a red mist/hamburger spray than go indirect. But then again, it depends on the target unit.
A mortar will keep the howitzer busy, over time the mortar will hit it and if a howitzer wastes that thret a ona mere little mortar the threat for the other units is off... I think the howitzer sems very usfull though, as it can fire directly if no nice non moving targets are around (unlike mortas).
Awesome video! Love your Bolt Action coverage.

Awesome, I heard this show got cancelled! Nice to see it is back.
These are the old rules. Has the direct/indirect fire changed in second edition?

Shame you did not cover a direct fire hit with HE.
Can someone explain to me how HE works against infantry
