You have already paid the price of delay, which I assume includes a couple of ranging shots that aren't seen in the game.
You are also taking a risk, as your guns have been committed to shoot at a target location where the enemy haven't even arrived yet.

- Time On Target arty
That just one of this forum's resident troll's little pet foibles. Chuckforth has been told what it is before but keeps whining on about it. Ignore him.
