Hate to be the dissenting voice here, but I'm on the second battle of a long campaign as the Germans, and the AI has bought alot alot of arty both times for the French. Not sure about the offboard stuff, but I saw plenty of 75mm mle 1897 howitzers and 60mm mortars in the first battle (advance) and in the current one (defend) there's at least 50 smoke plumes behind the French lines indicating where *some* of their firing arty is.
Also should point out that the AI is pouring it on too...first a very lengthly pre-bombardment, and then I'm getting pasted after each turn. I snuck a couple of my motorcycle recon units back there and the 10 or so smoke plumes I got close to had 75mm howitzers under them. I can tell you from the last battle that the mortars are almost impossible to spot, even in the same hex (and this time they're entrenched!).
To wrap up, lemme just say that I think I found all the arty everyone is missing :mad:
