SeaLion Artillery Dialog....

[dgk196]

Hello...

   I have noticed that in the HPS Sealion game, the 'Artillery Dialog' functions differently.
When a unit is selected and it 'fires', it is then removed from the Artillery Dialog list. This is a great
variation, much better than the 'light' version of unavailable or used guns designations.

Is this a Sealion only variant. or can it be added/modded into the other HPS Campaign Series titles?
Is it a function of a setting at the start of a scenario, and I just didn't notice this before, or is it
only for this title?

Thanks for your help on this subject...

Hey Dennis: 

In all the PzC and MC games I own, the Artillery Dialog works as you describe.   

Artillery units selected and "fired" are removed from the Artillery Dialog list.

Artillery units unavailable are lighter text.

No modding required!

Hello...

   My bad! I hadn't played any of the smaller scenario's (any title) for quite a while. I was playing a small scenario in Sea Lion, there was a small number of artillery units. I had managed to play several consecutive turns in which all of the artillery units where available. So, it seemed like only the available units where being displayed, which it was. And since my availability for several turns made it look like the artillery dialog had changed, which it hadn't. But, that said, I'd like that to be a feature of the artillery dialog anyway. Why display unavailable units? So, thanks for pointing that out to me.

Hello...

  Why display unavailable units?

Hey Dennis: 

Maybe to "remind" commanders of ALL their artillery resources? 

You may wish to move unavailable artillery units - get into covered terrain, close the range with the front lines or move your guns to another sector?
