Hi Richard,
I assume that Artillery units can be improved and then entrenched by engieers. If that is correct then the HE fire rating on the guns would be enhanced by a +1 when the unit is entrenched. Is my understanding of the rule correct.
Got into a discussion with my playing partner and he did not seem to think this was right giving the aritllery units too much power with the fire ratings and the TQ modifier increasing. I guess my thoughts where the artillery units have a dual purpose being they can be used as direct fire within 5 hexes thus using them as AT guns. I don;t know what the thought was behind the design of this situation. I guess my thought is the artillery unit entrenched would take into account mapping out of the area for fire missions and boosting TQ and fire power as the units are in a prepared and more static situation.
Is my understanding of the rule correct and can you offer some thoughts on my rational.
Thanks,
Mike
