Air and Artillery by the Map Optional Rule for D85

[Aaron]

Tell u the truth i dont understand any of this conversation, massed artillery, my does the optional rule have to be checked to have a problem with massed artillery. If u dont use this rule u can still mass your artillery! Take all 8 art units in 1 division and fire all at one hex. The only thing this rule does is let u fire on any hex on the map even if its not spotted by a unit in your organization. And u do get penalized severely for this with reduced attack down to 1/4. It would take 4 art units to do the damage of one. Dosnt seem very efficient to me to be massing my artillery when its does little damage. The good thing on this rule is it lets u drop art mines anywhere on the map, the only thing u have to think about is how damn far can that M109 fire.
