Proper Bombardment Execution.
 

I've called up the "B" screen using the B Hotkey. I selected the Arty unit and selected HE and the target hex.

But when I use Shift 3 to check whether the hex is Targeted, I discover that it is not Targeted.

I can't figure out why my Bombardment key selection sequence is ineffective.

Select the target hex, then the ammunition type.

Could you please list the exact sequence of "buttons" to push? This Bombardment part of the game is the weakest link in my understanding of the game.

Thanks.

Select your own Bombarding unit from the Bombardment Screen

Select the Target hex.

Select the Ammo Type.

Is this correct?

Yes.

Your unit that called up the bombardment screen acts as the FO as well. And only units with radio would be able to call up the bombardment screen.

FO should be best placed to observe the fires for optimal effect.

If you toggle the arty units weapons you can also choose to fire all tubes/ guns or conserve ammo and fire lesser tubes/ guns.
