The problem is not the assault rule

[Hawk Kriegsman]

I am all for the artillery suggestions as layed out here with one exception.

As I understand it when an artillery unit has the low ammo symbol it more represents the artillery unit being out of communication with the FO's / HQ's etc than not actually having a pile of shells lying about.

Artillery units need to be able to utilize direct fire at anytime. Otherwise the artillery units are nearly defenseless.

You start giving artillery units real low ammo levels and you run the risk of an increase in gamey tactics with deep raids using half tracks and the like.

Besides there is nothing more fun than balsting your opponents deep behind the lines armored car with a 105 battery!!

Thanx!
