Indirect fire range question - FroBodine - 01-27-2016 When firing on-board artillery and mortars as indirect fire, does the range shown in the unit card still apply?   So, say mortars have a range of 11.  Does that mean they can only fire 11 hexes both directly and indirectly?  Or is their range somehow extended when using indirect fire? Probably a silly question - but one I would like to know for sure, so I can relocate my mortars and on-board artillery and such if I need to. Also - an unrelated side question.  What is the benefit of moving HQ units closer to the front lines with their troops, when they have a very large command radius?  I see my opponent moving their HQ very close in to the battle.   Thanks! RE: Indirect fire range question - Ricky B - 01-27-2016 For artillery, the range is the range. Direct or indirect, I am not aware of a difference in range. As to HQs, I would have to check for PzB, but in PzC at least, a shorter range helps in certain situations. Check the manual for removing disruption/broken status, that might help. Also, some like to throw the HQs into the line to bolster an important point sometimes. Rick RE: Indirect fire range question - FroBodine - 01-28-2016 Makes sense. Thank you for the help! -=Jeff
