Offboard Artillery in WF PBEM

[David Galster]

In playtesting a WF scenario, the offboard artillery would not plot or fire for the German side.
It tested okay in the "Hot Seat" and "AI" modes, but not PBEM. Has anyone else experienced this issue
with the new version 2.02 WF Campaign Series?
If anyone has an account with Matrix games, could you post it on their forum?

Thanks,

Gentlemen,

 
We found a potential problem with offboard artillery for scenarios made in older
versions. Petri (KrazyKat) describes it best:
 
"This was quite a difficult one to pinpoint. Most times there's an artillery unit that won't fire it is a ghost unit, but it seems there's a chance off-board artillery settings can indeed go out of whack, in case there's an original scenario made with an old(er) Scenario Editor, then the same scenario is edited by a new(est?) Scenario Editor."
 
"I can't for a fact say what happened here, ie. what would be the source for this behaviour. Suffice it to say that if (off-board) arty won't fire, first check it is not a ghost unit and secondly if it is an off board unit, remove and deploy again with the latest Scenario Editor."
 
I hope this will be useful to players and scenario designers to resolve future problems with offboard artillery.
 
Thanks,
