Arty dialog - NicolasBourbaki - 04-22-2021 Hi, When shooting with arty, if I target a hex with several units a dialog opens to ask me which unit I want to target. Several info is available, like "skirmish", square, column etc. But not the estimated number of men. It's a pity because of course with my arty I want to shoot at the largest group. So each time I need to deselect my attack, click on the enemy stack and have a look to the estimated number of men. For example 7X / 1XX and 8XX And of course, I will shout at the counter with 8XX men because it garanties more casualities than a 70+ men group. Am I doing something wrong ? Is there a way to see the (estimated) number of men without closing the dialog, aborting my attack and selecting the enemy stack ? Thanks RE: Arty dialog - agmoss99 - 04-22-2021 Most folks play with Column Pass Through Fire on I think so it's not an issue for many. RE: Arty dialog - NicolasBourbaki - 04-22-2021 I do have this OR activated. So you mean that with this "pass through" OR, it doesn't matter which unit is targeted, all units in the same hex will be impacted ? Is that correct ? So no need to specifically target one or another ? RE: Arty dialog - agmoss99 - 04-22-2021 Yes. Whatever unit you select, the whole stack will take a hit, if you select that optional rule. So you can select any one. RE: Arty dialog - NicolasBourbaki - 04-22-2021 Cool. And I guess it has some realism too ... RE: Arty dialog - NicolasBourbaki - 04-23-2021 BTW this leads me to another question : is it true too to Infantry firing ? Because in fact the problem of lack of information about the size of the unit would be the same ... RE: Arty dialog - NicolasBourbaki - 04-23-2021 Also, I don't understand why I do have casualties when firing the enemy from 1 km away ? For example, my arty battery is 10 hexes away from the unit I'm shooting and the result is "4 men, 11 men" which suggests I had casualties too (4 men). This happens quite often. Any idea?

No. I think those are the losses of the different units in the stack you fired upon. RE: Arty dialog - NicolasBourbaki - 04-24-2021 Ah ok ! Makes sense ... Will check if ot happens only when shooting on stacks. Thanks RE: Arty dialog - tobruck41 - 08-22-2022 I don't always shoot at the largest unit. I'll often shoot at the largest disrupted unit as it adds a modifier to the morale check if the morale check is triggered; hoping to cause disruptions and routs. If it is arty shooting at units in line or column (w the column pass through option chosen) then it doesn't matter, I aim at the largest. |
