Any arty that is a reinforcement is under Corps or higher command, not yours. So we allow higher HQ to assign as CB. The method of making them never-arrive reinforcements is a fine way of keeping such arty out of the players grubby hands for the scenario designer !.

Restricting the rounds would be somewhat silly, since they need 8 rounds (or some such - it could be 4 RPG) in reserve to fire CB.

Easy enough then. Just assign some sort of heavy artillery or MRL for this sort of thing since they tend to have lower amounts of ammo. Besides such a unit is likly to do more damage as CB anyway.
