Starshells - Amico Fritz - 08-18-2012 OK, you fire a starshell in your round with inf. platoon. Then you plot lotta arty in those enlightenede hexes. Question is: Are the shells and the benifit of them (full strength/hitting home) gone next turn (since arty rounds fall in your opponent's round) ..

Question is: Are the shells and the benifit of them (full strength/hitting home) gone next turn (since arty rounds fall in your opponent's round) .. They do not help for plotting arty. They have 2 good uses that I know of: 1) To see what the opponent is doing in the dark 2) They do allow spotting for effective Opportunity Fire RE: Starshells - Warhorse - 08-18-2012 Sometimes your opponent helps you out by popping one, your arty works real well then!!! RE: Starshells - Schwerpunkt75 - 08-18-2012 When an opponent lets me know about his units' presence in a hex thru gun-flashes, if I have a unit in range that can execute a direct fire attack at a distance of 2 hexes or more, I will pop a starshell to make that attack more effective. RE: Starshells - Amico Fritz - 08-18-2012 Thanks, guys. JPrcisely what I needed to know. AF [quote='Amico Fritz' pid='365667' dateline='1345280379'] Thanks, guys. Precisely what I needed to know. AF RE: Starshells - Warhorse - 08-19-2012 Also, in night fighting a very good rule, adjust all opportunity for short range, so as to not give away your pos with ineffective fire!! |
