How much arty ?

I need to practice artillery tactics better as well. I have a bad habit of trying to scatter things too much, to have rounds coming in everywhere, rather than concentrating on hammering one or two targets thoroughly.

edit: A battery would be 2 individual off-map units correct in SP ? Since they tend to have 3 tubes each.

In game terms the simple way to think of it & why the hammer blow is more effective.

Fire 3 tubes at the same or adjacent hexes so you get overlap in one turn vs one tube firing alone for 3 turns.

The first case has probably caused more suppresion & the target(s) get one chance to recover. The second case the target has had 3 rally chances.

The second case harrasing fire is only really useful to let units close range a bit without being seen & smoking them out is often a better solution.
