Air and Artillery by the Map Optional Rule for D85

[Elxaime]

Hi -

I have not usually used the optional rule for artillery and airstrikes to be plotted by map, but thinking of doing so for D85. Any opinions on this? If possible can people give their thoughts on two questions:

1. Is this optional rule more in line with the real-world capabilities of the armed forces involved on the two sides? In other words, if you want to more accurately model capabilities, should the optional rule be enabled?

2. In terms of the game, what are the consequences? How does this change tactics? Is it potentially unbalancing? What countermeasures can be taken? Are there some potentially gamey issues to watch out for?

Thanks in advance.
