Artillery priority target hexes

[DRG]

Buy more FOO's.......



Open the Game guild and search for "Artillery Priority Hexes "

There have been changes to the way the artillery priority hexes are assigned. You no longer get 10 artillery priority hexes automatically. Here is the new system at a glance

The are NO restrictions to the scenario designer in the scenario editor. There are still 10 available when designing scenarios
In a meeting engagement, both sides get only 1 Artillery priority hex. It is assumed in a meeting engagement that the battlefield has not been surveyed but we will spot each side one in this case anyway
If your mission is an assault, you get 5 to start
If your mission is an advance (hasty attack) you get 3 to start
If your mission is a delay, you get 2 to start
if your mission is a defend you get 4 to start
We have not increased the number of priority hexes in the game. You will still get a maximum of 10 but....

you get an extra Artillery Priority hex for each FOO bought except in a meeting engagement

....which will still only give one priority hex no matter how many Artillery Observers you buy.

Here is an example of how this will work. Assume you are playing an Advance in any type of game but not a scenario. You will be given 3 priority hexes to start with and one for each Artillery Observer you buy so if you buy 2 more you will have 5 priority hexes to use. If you are playing the delay side of an advance you would start with 2 priority hexes to start with and one for each Artillery Observer you buy so if you buy 2 more you will have 4 priority hexes to use. Remember, in a meeting engagement you do NOT get an extra Priority Hex for any additional Artillery Observers.
