I haven�t play SPWAW since some month now, I would like to re-start some PBEM soon. For the moment I am playing some campaigns, to relearn the game.
I remember something which annoyed me when I played PBEM battles, it was the fact that when I played a meeting engagement or an advance/delay my opponent could have Off Board artillery, plenty of 150 mm battery for example. It was not very realistic, and have a tendency to �kill� the game. I found that really boring. And in my latest PBEM, I played only scenarios, where the OB is already given.

So I would have liked to know if players have house rules concerning the purchasing of artillery in a Battle, to limit its power and number ?

Always discuss such things with your opponent beforehand. The "usual" limit is 10-15% of your points total arty for either player.
