Assigning artillery to spotters

Sorry. According to the publicly available information, the games are related in that they have a common ancestor, SP-II. I shall never refer to SPWAW in this forum.

Agree. Arbitratry multipliers so frequently used in desktop games and computer games based on them cannot make a good model. Do you generate a normal distribution?

For example, in my go at Scenario 191--Glosters at the Imjin--British artillery and mortars accounted for at least 13 kills, while Chicom indirect fire caused 10. In Spwaw arty bombards rarely caused kills, and one poster at their forum said heavies were so non-lethal he used them mostly for smoke. Imagine that!

The kills are the number of units fully destroyed?
