1st Ukraine Front - Insiders look at a Play Test

[Strela]

Hi Dog Soldier, Personally, I like the counter battery rule. I think that you have to look at this slightly more abstractly. Usually units are in place for a period of time or are actively patrolling etc. The Germans may have mapped these positions on prior days, had local informants or other ways of gleaing intelligence. (such as sound location) With each hex being a kilometre and the watering down of the attack strength I think the CB rule does a good job of reflecting this.

That said, in this particular game, not one shot has been made at opposing artillery in either the 27th or 40th Army sector. There have been much more tangible targets available as evidenced by the screen shot showing the impact of the Russian final protective fire.
