I wish there was some bonus or way of having some chance of CB even when you are out ranged, at least for 10-20 range units. I know, not exactly realistic but IMO it would help.

I, on the other hand always have a battery of off-board artillery in my core for campaigns that's used strictly for counter-battery.
Any artillery I buy with support points I use for other stuff.

This is because I tend play battalion size battles and the AI thinks one artillery battalion (regiment if assaulting) per maneuver battalion is typical so I NEED counter-battery or the AI will destroy my forces with artillery alone.

Perhaps you didn't get what I was saying. It's not how much you buy, it's that if the other side has artillery with greater range (opponent has range 217 you have 207) you are screwed. He/she can use the artillery without fear for the duration of the battle/campaign.
