Artillery dialogue

[Strela]

So, here's something I've been wondering. If I call in artillery through the artillery dialogue, is it always indirect, even if and artillery piece has a visual on the target hex? Assuming that direct fire would be more effective of course, so, maybe it doesn't even matter.

Hi,

As ComradeP mentions this would require a short test to validate what is happening when.

I can tell you the direct artillery modifier applies out to 4 hexes. What I can't tell you is what is the behaviour in the defensive fire phase. If I have a spare moment I'll setup a test scenario...
