Default Re: Artillery WAAAY too cheap!

Well, I'm writing an AAR, but the other guy hasn't replied to my email for two days. I resent my email just a few minutes ago in case it didn't get through. But other than that, it's no that great. I don't think I'm ever playing a PBEM meeting engagment again- there's no fighting, both sides just stay on the defense and attrit the enemy. Still, my arty has been devastating him.

Mustang:You look at this from wrong side. You didnt purchased 6.battalions, you purchased fire suport from them.They will fire one or two fire mission for you, so you are paying for fire mission, not for whole battalion...
Still, I have 3 batallions of infantry supported by 6 batallions of artillery. I should have bought a single ammo dump- I move away from it, fire of all my ammo, move back to it, them move away and fire some more. Because you only need one ammo dump to supply all of my six batallions, I could have had a ridiculous ammount of firepower on hand. IMO the Uragan is way too cheap and should be bumped up to about the price of the MLRS. Even if I was the divisional main effort and was recieveing tons of artillery support, I don't think that I'd have six batallions always on call. IMO off-map artillery should be a lot cheaper because it isn't just dedicated to you and is supporting a lot of other forces also.
