German off map counter battery advice wanted!

One tactic that I sometimes use is to purchase offboard guns of value with relatively limited ammo. Then I blast away with them from turn 0 as interdiction fire: Thou Shalt Not Go There without paying a heavy price while I zip my units where I want them.

When the tubes are down to 4 to 6 rounds each, I quit using them. They'll sit and wait to CB-fire those last few shells at my opponent's guns, which probably are still firing because they've been probing around at 0.5+ delay and dropping only a round a turn.

Onboard mortars then actually take up the job of supporting my other arms, which ideally already have gained the tactical defensive with the help of the interdiction fire.

That seems to maybe maximize the strengths of offboard artillery in my experience.
