Re: Artillery WAAAY too cheap!
I still say that counter battery fire and other tricks of dealing with on-map artillery more than make up for the price and effort of moving artillery around. I've taken out whole batteries during games by air-dropping units behind the lines and with counter-battery fire during games. Helo gunships skirting the sides of the map are also an issue.
There are ways around being caught in this kind of barrage, and if your opponent isn't doing it, its because its the AI (which rarely engages in counter-battery fire) or because your opponent is a masochist.
