ARTILLERY - INDIRECT FIRE

[McIvan]

Blind firing without spotting can in certain circumstances be extremely rewarding....sometimes useful against loaded transports, but often DEVASTATING against tank riders, motorcycle riders, mounted troops since by a game mechanic that is not properly understood these troops tend to die under any firepower at all.

In one game dropping blind light/med mortar fire into a depression that it was rightly suspected a bunch of T34s and tank riders would move into resulted in the loss of an entire company of Russian infantry in a single turn.....from 1 strength mortar fire.

In another game I was on the receiving end....a single blind 1 strength round from the enemy wiped out 12SP of German motorcycle riders.
