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

My understanding is Artillery overload was only removed for scenarios / user campaigns not generated battles or campaigns (generated or long) |

Re: Offmap Artillery Poll
I see I had a  moment. So I retract that part of the para, however I'll stick to my ..." pound them into the dirt"...part of it. 
I'm popping in a movie (Watching my Jason Bourne series at one a week.) as I contemplate my 2 hour procedure, getting a crown put in the morning.
Before anyone might think about offering words of encouragement, wince at this thought, with no pain killers ever, except twice (The first one they had to break into 4 pieces as the root wrapped around the jaw bone. I remember being happy to see the shining dental chisel and big hammer in his hands.) when the USN pulled my wisdom teeth ( Now you know what happened to me!?!). You volunteer for Sub Duty and they take away your wisdom-teeth. 
Enjoy your dental nightmares!!!!  That's  
I better stop while I'm behind, thank you both for correcting me.
Regards,
Pat

Re: Offmap Artillery Poll
Why yes, I did volunteer for that.
Anyone can be on any kind of craft that floats on the water, what fun is in that!?!
Besides the only bad thing is when you realize that you're going to be " diving" one more time then you'll be " surfacing" , that does set up to be a real bad day  but, the " bright spot" is depending how fast and deep you are, at worst case you'll only have a few minutes at most to ponder the question  , can my day get any worse!?! (Well hopefully.)
Regards,
Pat

Never EVER say "can my day get any worse!?!"......never, never NEVER
There is only one sure answer to that after it's been said aloud......You might as well go stand on your roof in a thunderstorm with a steel helmet and a metal rod in your hands
The gods will smite you for your impudence. |
