Artillery glitch ???

[MOS_96B2P]

To be fair neither the game manual or engine manual go into much detail beyond the basics.  I originally learned about this arty game mechanic by reading posts from womble and akd over at the BFC forum.  I then tested it and now have also experienced it many times in PBEM games.  

That's what makes the various forums dedicated to Combat Missions so invaluable.  Without them it would be a very difficult & steep learning curve to figure out all the intricacies of the game.
