Drifting artillery

Eyes on target is all you really need to know, you will never predict drift because you shouldn't be able to as you are calling in on an area & cant see the target.

If you want to call in unseen fires more accurately on expected avenues of approach place a "gold spot" & use it.

I was expecting that answer.

In the scenario I'm playing I have a large wood, visibility down to one hex. It has to be cleared and advancing through it without using artillery is painful on the infantry. This leaves two options.

Moving next to the enemy hoping your not going to get blown away before plotted artillery falls is suicide.

This leaves setting your artillery to hexes you can't see, but too close hurts, too far away is ineffective.

Is the drift on small artillery less than larger calibers?
