Default Re: another question

So a historically accurate method to deploy artillery battery on the map would be to have them in line right next to each other, with possibly even several pieces in the same hex? That said, gaming-wise that makes them more vulnerable to counter-bombardment.

I think I will try to stick to using artillery as an off-table asset, much easier that way. In any case, my needs for on-table indirect fire support are usually better catered by mortars, and those tend to come with 2-3 pieces per unit, providing for appropriately dense deployment with the whole section in a single hex.
