RE: selecting multiple batteries
Thanks Ricky. But in that case, what did David mean when he wrote, in the 'Effectiveness of artillery' thread:
'Firstly, artillery will be very effective against units in travel mode if used en masse. The seasoned players will make you fear using travel mode in clear sight. Katyushas or a combined artillery battalion will make short work of exposed units.
Personally, we have created some conundrums for players by including artillery at battery (platoon equivalent) level in line with the rest of the the units. Unfortunately with all the current factors the impact from the 2 - 4 tubes in a battery standalone has a lesser impact. I usually combine into multi battery/battalion units to get some reasonable impact from my indirect units. The trade off is less shots both in my turn and in the defensive fire phases.'
When he writes about grouping units 'en masse' is he merely suggesting physically moving them into the same hex?
