Question for Glenn re Detached Units / Artillery / Railroad movement queries

[Glenn Saunders]

What is the effect on the artys firing strength when the unit spotting is not detached but the arty unit is detached?

I don't know - I don't thik this is covered by the rule so I assume the fire would be normal - but I would need to have a game file to be sure.

And.... if the spotting unit starts the turn detached, but then moves within command range prior to the supporting artillery firing, is the arty fire still halved?

I think you'll find that detached status is determined at the start of your turn and if you move a detached unit back into command range it is still deemed detached until the start of the next turn.

On railways - previously, to change into, or out of Rail Mode, used the entire unit movement allowance, this seems to have changed to 2/3rds - is this correct?

IU just check the cost to change out of Rail to normal mode and the cost was all MPs - this was in a new Exe for a game I have in development so I gues I am not seeing the same thing as you which is why it is best to evaluate things while looking at the same file.
