Suggestion regarding artillery

NO......

Simply clicking on a unit does NOT re-assign it to the new obsever.....you have to shift the target for it to change from the original. As long as the target hex does not change neither does the observer

The problem remains that you have no way to check that but the observer does not change until a new observer takes control by shifting fire

Wow - you do learn something new now every and then

I have been playing the game as well as going into the actual guts of that part of the code for years and had never noticed that neat little feature!

.......Andy already told you that a few posts back

The game doesn't care which observer adjusts the fire, other than the initial one (for time of arrival) and LOS when the shells fall. The mission isn't "owned" by whatever observer called the shoot, just whichever one you decided to do the last adjust with is allocated as the last one to spot it, and hence any LOS issue is from him.

The key word you missed is " ADJUST" ( not just click on ......he has to adjust the fire to take control )

Indeed.
This definitely helps a lot.
Not perfect but pretty good.
Thanks and sorry to Andy for missing that.
