Hello guys,
ich have a question concerning my Artillery Lance and how 'cheap' their indirect fire artillery attacks can get at best. I'm not sure if i have thought of all possible modifications...
Let me give you an example:
My Lance:
My Artillery Lance consists of 2x Schiltron Prime and two Chaparral Missile Tanks. So all 4 units have the ART-AIS special ability. Per ASC p. 152 they fulfill the requirements for an Artillery Fire Lance and two of them should get the Oblique Artillery Man special ability. All units should have a basic skill of 4.
My Position:
I leave my Artillery Lance less than 34" away from its POI and it stands behind a hill. No artillery tank has LOS to the POI. All artillery units are at a standstill.
My Spotter:
I have a spotting unit with PRB and TAG within LOS of the POI. The spotting unit is not firing itself.
The To-Hit-Number:
Now i am trying to calculate the to-hit-number for one of my Artillery Tanks getting the Oblique Artillery Man SPA and i hope that you can tell me if this is right or wrong.
To-Hit-Number =
4 (Skill of the firing Tank)
+ 7 (Artillery using indirect fire)
-1 (Firing unit is at a standstill)
- 1 (Spotter when attack fired)
- 2 (Spotter has TAG for Arrow IV)
- 1 (Oblique Artillery Man)
= 7 ???
