Fallout Re: Offmap Artillery Poll

I support the measure. I normally use Med. Battery sized units. Partly due to cost of the "Big" stuff early in a campaign.

If I do feel I need a "section" more of artillery due to the situation on the ground, I'll buy it after my "repair" and or "expand core" or "combination of both" cycle in the game by using my left over points.

I've found this to work perfectly well for me. I believe this is what Andy was eluding to as well in his post.

It's a simple way to access where I'm at during one of my long campaigns now running on average of 23 turns, if I feel I need more artillery. Having smaller sized units available will just make the math easier as I'll know the "set cost" in advance.

That is of course, that I'm fully understanding of what's being asked in this thread.

However, as a ground "combined arms" (I don't use much air (Of all types.) ~25% or less of the time.) person, I can see where big arty can be more attractive to some players, especially as the arty overload cost has been removed in the last patch. I can fully appreciate the "pound them into the dirt" thought process there.

That's my "penny" in the jar if you will.

Regards,
Pat
