(Answered) Artillery direct and indirect fire
« on: 16 July 2019, 04:09:50 »
 :D
 I have a rules question involving artillery direct and indirect fire.
On page 185 tactical operations it does not go into detail about the modifiers for indirect fire under 17 hexes

I was wondering what the modifiers were and how you calculate that if it is indirect fire under 17 hexes. Do you add the plus 7 modifier for being indirect like you would do normally was artillery or do you add the plus 4 modifier Like you would using direct fire artillery

The question comes up when it actually becomes harder to head because you have to shoot through woods Using direct fire but then the modifiers become easier if you just shot it indirectly.

I know it might sound like a stupid question but some clarification would be nice on this how do you calculate indirect fire for artillery under 17 hexes of range

 Thank u :D :D

Described on p. 182, under Determining Hits, using mods from p. 180.  The only difference is that you also add the attacker movement modifier, per p. 183.
