Yap, you`ll be able to bombard your enemy with naval gun on desert or in jungle
And also the formation for purchase list is messed up as some formations in Artillery like "Light Battalion" and "NG Lt Bty" show the icon of naval gun and some other formations are totally unusable.
So we should go into the "Allied" screan and choose any of the forces, go into its "Artillery list", then "Allied" back. Yap, you can now also buy some land off-map artillery.
In PBEM game, only the host could do this ^^
Not a bug, since you deliberately chose a naval assault map with the gbeach variable set. Then you deliberately swapped to a land map. The game will try to accommodate your requests, but don't be surprised if e.g. you have unusable landing craft after purchase.

Just don't try silly things and you will not get silly results.

Use a beach map only for a beach assault battle or scenario (and probably only for scenarios as you may need to set the side for the assault player to match the map).
