Smolensk 41 opponent wanted

[larsonney]

Wait, let me correct my previous post. Alternative indirect fire helps the defender. I've got some experience with this rule too. It makes it costly for the attacker to mass too many units in a stack because defending artillery will hurt all the units. The attacker will often need to mass units while the defender will generally have only one or two units in a stack.

So, sorry about the previous misinformation, but I think this rule strongly favors the defender. I don't like it anyway.

That's true, but I think it also hurts the defender in this case...those big, bulky Russian battalions can add up when stacked together!
