Do I have this right? - Montana Grizz - 01-05-2007 (Indirect Fire) I plot an M3 105mm Howitzer two hexes in front of an advancing column of 3 separate Engineer Platoons and they happen to stop right in my cross hairs. When my artillery fires, I have the opportunity of doing no damage, some damage, or a considerable amount of damage to more than one of the platoons? (Direct Fire) If I can see the hex containing the 3 separate Engineer Platoons, I can only fire on one particular one (or two if I can fire twice). (Opportunity Fire) Given the aforementioned situation, the program would randomly select the particular platoon I am firing at? Is this then a crap shoot? Potentially more damage caused using Indirect Fire, but less chance of causing damage because of the distances involved? Is it a wash or is one of the three traditionally more effective (all things considered)? Thank you, Pat RE: Do I have this right? - John Given - 01-05-2007 RE: Do I have this right? - Hawk Kriegsman - 01-05-2007 RE: Do I have this right? - Smedley - 01-05-2007 In this situation, I would most likely direct fire once and then load the gun up and get it out of the enemies line of sight. Unless the gun is in a bunker, of course.......... RE: Do I have this right? - Montana Grizz - 01-05-2007 I want to thank you all for your kind and informative response to my query, especially Hawk's indepth analysis.
