Ah, land artillery being able to close an air field, or sink ships in port... that would be so nice...

Its an interesting proposal but as along as a hex is 40 square miles large, I�d vote no.

I believe the hexes are closer to 1386 miles^2.

ok.. If my troops number 100k in manilla and his too, is it too hard to imagine at some point my long range artillery could hit a building in port or a runway?

Yes, and in your described situation this should be possible. But it is a single situation opposed to many possible, and
you�d enable it for all situations.
Land combat is not very complex (compared to naval and air) and highly abstract (as far as terrain and frontline is concerned).
I think the land combat model needs more finesse to enable such an option to be integrated successfully and plausible,
without creating exploits.

In our case n = 6 and r = 20 nautical miles.
