Re: Some random thoughts
Very true Andy. Personally I like to make a distinction between area firing at suspicious locations, ie when I haven't made contact yet, and area firing after contact (at enemy units that have fired but are not spotted yet or those that are spotted but where the bulk of my units don't have a LOS for direct fire).
In the first case I prefer just to hose liberally with mg's as these have lots of ammo. I tend to reserve the big HE rounds for the second job. Their splash area means I can hit one of 7 hexes and still get suppression on the unit I know is out there. Usually the ammoload isn't that big for those rounds so I'm a bit more picky as to where I use them for area fire.
For me the point where I start getting a bit more conservative with area fire with the main guns (area firing on known positions and much less on possible positions) is when the HE ammo drops to 20 rounds or so. It's not a rule that's set in stone as it depends ont he total amount of suppression fire I can deliver too. I will use it if and when I need it.
