Realistic Artillery Management - FOO Rule

The optional 8f rules deal with this, guns must be deployed in battery no more then 1 hex apart.

Hi Chris,

I think "no more than 1 hex apart" is realistic for a troop, other troops in the battery should probably be 4 to 6 hexes away.

The problem is that SP on board counter battery is far quicker and more accurate than IRL.
Because of this, I like to keep my guns within 3 to 5 hexes of one another. So I feel I'm making an effort to keep guns together, without giving them away to CB fire.

However, I can see that if rule 8f was played in conjunction with your FOO rule, CB would be unlikely.
