Air and Artillery by the Map Optional Rule for D85

[Volcano Man]

Yes the 1/4 fire value against an unspotted unit has always been there, but the issue is when you mass every artillery unit on the map and, as long as you fire on a spotted enemy, you can mass artillery with devistating effects.

If however the recent HQ / detached unit rules help out here then the old play balance issue of indirect fire by map is not so important anymore. It would be fairly easy to test, just load a map up with artillery units of the same type but from different organizations. Then have a spotter belong to the organization of one of the units and compare the results.
