Cross Wrote:Never conserve ammo. Get as much fire power onto the front as soon as possible. If you do run low on ammo, it shouldn’t matter because the battle should already be going your way. The artillery have done their job.
In the longer battles running out of ammo is a definite problem which is not the case for shorter (20 turn) battles and since i often play longer ones ammo management is a must.
Also sometimes the fire is more ranging fire than effect, just seeing where its going and so not worth expending extra ammo on.
I tend ot keep the tubes down to 2 out of 4 or sometimes even one out of 4 until I think I have something to hit, or I can see what I am shooting at then I turn them on to full.
The only exception to this is when I need to do suppression fire on a likely area of movement and want to make it as bad as possible, then I go all out.
