RE: experimental rules in MBT
I still think that once the FO has made the call, spotting should be turned over to local control. As far as concetrating arty, if you don't do that, you will get beat, which should be an incentive of it's own, I would like this better if it was 1 target, 1 battery instead of 1 target, 1 FO, whih is how I undersatnd your proposed rule change. I do that anyway, just because it's good play. Assuming one has an out-of-the-box view of the word 'target'. In a game I'm playing now, my opponent has moved up lots of Sagger teams into several treelines. So I consider the tree line a 'target, since I havn't actually spotted any of those %$#@##$$%* Saggers.
I this case I have tasked a battery of SP mortars with suppressing the tree line on the most critical part of the map. I have requested smoke elsewhere, just to keep him guessing. After my suppression fire lands, I will use a zero scout to walk the mortars along the tree line. A couple of turns of that and I'll try to work a mech platoon in to clear the treeline.
Straightforward tactics, would I still be able to do this sort of thing under the propese rule change?
