What is the range of Artillery? And where do you see it?



oldspec4 -> RE: What is the range of Artillery? (8/28/2010 6:32:50 PM)

I had to get w/in two hexes to use the bombard order but don't know if that is true for all artillery.

I haven't seen anything that indicates the actual artillery range for each artillery unit.

2 hexes seems to be right.
Is it best to use organic artillery as bombardment or join in the ground attack? Does artillery contribute to defence if in range? So should the divisional artillery defend in the line or a hex back?

I was wondering this as well for moving my artillery in position. In TOAW3 the specs give the distance which makes it nice, so I don't put them right on the line if I don't need to.

I asked that question in other topic and the answer (from one of the beta-testers of the game) was 2 hexes for all artillery pieces (I suppose except mortars and infantry / light field guns (70+ mm)). As in Advanced Tactics. This is not very historically accurate, because there was actually quite large differences between, for example, divisional howitzers and corps guns (usually more than 5 kilometres). But for this level of abstraction I dont think that is so important.

Two hexes but I don't know if more close is better.

I think as bombardment, no back fire and maybe more rounds in combat duty.

If you mean an adjacent artillery unit not involved in the combat I believe...nope.

Depend how is strong my enemy, usually one hex back or stacked with a regiment.
I always try to cacth the enemy artillery left alone. IMHO



Sheytan -> RE: What is the range of Artillery? (8/28/2010 11:32:33 PM)

I typically would create a artillery stack, taking the divisional artillery and massing along with Corp assets. I used these artillery "trains" to degrade a enemy unit prior to a assault.

how man km is each hex, to me it looks to be about 2.5-3km, just based off what it looks like on the map, anyone know?

10 km for Poland scenario and 5 km the other ones (manual)
