Bolt out of the Blue 5.3

Basically counter battery will be twice what it was in 5.0. It was 250-150 but have you seen much counter battery fire (spotting), nope.

When the Optional Rule for Counterbattery Fire is enabled, there is the chance
that when an unspotted artillery unit fires, it will become spotted. By default,
the probability of this occurring is:
Counterbattery Spotting Probability = Normalized Strength / Range To Enemy
Where Range To Enemy is the range of the artillery unit to the nearest enemy
unit and Normalized Strength is given by the equation:
Normalized Strength = Men-Equivalent Strength / Max Road Stacking Value
This probability applies up to ranges of 10 hexes. The Parameter Data Value
for Counterbattery is used per side to modify this default probability.

As far as trenching with all def modifiers dropping, trench down 20% and forests down 10% those trenches while still important will provide 30% less defense, 50% less when trenched in industrial. So that alone goes hand in hand with the lowering of digging in. Theres is a game on day2 with very similar values and its going well.

This will be the last update for the near future so your safe starting a game and not having to worry theres another update comin out. Ive found a job and start work tomorrow for Halliburton and ive got that other project im working on that im going to really start moving on as i get some stuff from that other guy workin on it.
