Few words about arty mechanism:

The new arty routines include AI arty mission on any occupation of VP hex.

What does this mean in the secondary mission?

The moment your first elements (scouts) will cross the lower bridge you will trigger the AI arty response. Then after 2-3 turns you will receive 3-4 NVA mortar arty strikes at a concentration of units that move at the highest speed in clear terrain (convoy passing through the bridge). This will lead to a massacre.

One method of avoiding this, is what I did and another one would be to pre-assigned all the mortars to hit locations (anticipate player moves) at turns 10, 11, 12, etc (in order to avoid the bridge massacre).

Anyway, this may be fixed in the final revision.

Cheers,
Pyros
