The problem is not the assault rule

[K K Rossokolski]

Artillery values would remain constant throughout their range (as opposed to dropping off drastically as they do now with range).

Divisional or Corps Forward Observers that can call all artillery that are within the division or corps organization? Storch?

Some thoughts for discussion.

I think the arty values remaining constant is more realistic...while shell speed falls off with range, the amount of explosive therein does not. I would like to see more uncertainty and inaccuracy built in...5% of duds for example, and significant inaccuracy with longer range.

The FO discussion needs a lot more airing. The point of the Storch needs very careful consideration, for example the complete air superiority enjoyed by at least the Western Allies later in the war meant that the skies were untenable for such German aircraft as arty spotters. I also believe much more thought is needed on the different capabilities of different armies in all facets of warfare...I think the Romanian analogy has been used, and it is a good one.

And on a related topic, I have always found it odd that a commander has no ability to spot anything other than question marks..personal observation of the battlefield has always been a hallmark of superior military leaders
