experimental rules in MBT

[Grumbler]

Or you could save the e-mail and after the game is finished, look at the roster and see. BTW, Having a .5 request means that the next turn will be a 0.0 (FFE-fire for effect) So it would be posssible for 1 FO to request fire at an off the dime target with a 2.1 delay, then the next turn request fire from a dime with an off set for a 1.4 delay (request A is now at 1.1, then the next turn request fire on a dime with a 1.0 delay (requests A & B are now at .1 and .4).
If you adjust the fire from request A (.2 delay) You will get 2 fire missions per turn without violating the rules, althogh your opponent (who suffers from artyphobia) will swear you have 2 FO's.
And what about TOT fires? When you have 4 or 5 batteries ALL firing on the same hex at the same time?
No, I have to disagree with the whole Idea of messing around with the arty rules this way. It ain't broke, why fix it? If somebody is having problems dealing with their opponents arty, it is much easier to just play on a bigger map. A 100x100 map has 10,000 hexs or so ( IIRC it's actually 98x98). With that many hexes to hide in , you need hugh amounts of arty to cover all the possible target. Or play without ammo trucks. Reducing the number od shots from infinity to 60 or so makes even the redest red-leg think twice about sending rounds off into the blue. FO's are mobil and go where the arty needs them. I assume that is why ALL Battalion and up headquarters don't have them as part of the TO&E in nSP. If someone wants to buy 30 or 40 Fo's, good for them. I would rather have 1 FO and the rest of the points in other units. It's fine the way it is now.
If the Cammo boys are just looking for something mess with, I want a variable visibility range. Ever been in a sandstor, o a blizzard? One second you cannot see you hand in front of your face the next you can see that Uberpanzer clawing it's way toward you 400 meters away. It's 1600 hours here now. Visibility is about 2 or 3 kilometers, I guess. In half an hour (10 to 15 tutns) that vis will be down to 10 hexex, in an hour it will be down to 8 hexes or so. Why not do this instead of tweaking the arty routines, which at least work, if not as well as before the last tweak.
