- The map will centre roughly on the spot, if not there already
1.5) The neophyte would now hit the HE button.. You will skip straight to 2
2) Hit the adjust button to shift - the circle comes up based on last target hex
3) adjust away
You have saved 1 delay step - can make the difference between an 0.5 call, and a 1.0 (skip a turn).
The neophyte would press the HE button for an 0,1 delay "repeat" mission as step 1.5 - this step is not not needed if shifting HE. (is if you change ammo e.g to smoke, or you are happy with a repeat with minimal delay, hence more shells).

Would you believe I've been playing SP for years without realizing this tip
? Sure pays to do a little searching once in awhile.
