Unit Report

Post by nukkxx5058 »

Hi, can't find the info in the manual: What is the "Artillery" figure in the Unit report ? How do I understand/use the number (see photo) as compared to anti-personal or anti-tank ??
Thanks

The manual says this about artillery:

§§ Artillery – This is the unit’s Bombardment
Strength. It includes that portion of the
Anti-Personnel Strength that the unit can
use in Bombardment Missions or in Combat
Support. Typically, only Headquarters, Naval,
Air, and Artillery units will have a non-zero
Artillery Strength, regardless of equipment
assigned.

Oh Thanks ... I missed it.
But I 'm not sure I fully understand what it means exactly:
It includes that portion of the
Anti-Personnel Strength that the unit can
use in Bombardment Missions or in Combat
Support."

Remember my Tutorial about artillery? There I explained what 'bombardment' means/does. It's basically like attacking an enemy unit with just the artillery components, not the other components. In this case, you can't use the Panzer Korps for artillery bombardment, unless you add an alternative icon (artillery) to it. Again, that's also explained in Tutorial '45.
