RE: 1st Ukraine Front - Insiders look at a Play Test
Strela,
In the 88th ID section on turn one, (final screen shot in post #2), there are "?" appearing in the Russian rear area. I believe these are the locations of the Russian artillery being revealed by the counter battery optional rule. This a required OR for the _alt series scenarios.
Is this working to your satisfaction? You mention the attack takes place in heavy fog. Should artillery positions be spotted up to four km behind the front lines with visibility at only one km? I have had a nagging feeling this lack of a tie in with the turn visibility conditions was a flaw in the CB OR.
Just curious on your thoughts about this subject. How would a WW2 artillery position be so accurately discovered? Can anyone explain if this is realistic? It is not so much a problem with the _alt scenarios as it is with using the counter battery optional rule, IMHO.
