Counter Battery Question & Off Map

Post by Deathtreader »

Hi,

After perusing the manual and several "what's new" documents I would just like to confirm that my understanding of current counter battery mechanics are correct:

1/ On map friendly arty counter battery orders will target on map enemy arty BUT NOT off map enemy arty.

2/ Off map friendly arty counter battery orders will target BOTH on map and off map enemy arty.

Yes, No, Maybe?? [:D]

Thanks!

So we're at war with the Russkies eh?? I suppose we really ought to invade or something. (Lonnnng pause while studying the map)
Hmmmm... big place ain't it??

1. Yes.
2. Off map should target on-map and off-map arty that shoots is subject to "off map" retaliation, but your own off map forces to do not target enemy off map arty.

Hopefully that makes it clear. Let me know.
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!
