Firing artillery
What are the odds of implementing firing artillery like in PBs system?  I had a pretty bad stroke in 2016 and reduced to using my left arm only.  Just looking for a way to use smoke/flares.

Maybe this can help :

How about the bottom Toolbar icons.
There is an artillery button , press that and the Artillery Dialog
pops up. 
Any Indirect Fire units with enough Action Pts. are 
available for the shoot.
Then you just Right Click on the target hex.
Note that as that Dialog appears - the green Arrow button will become
a Red Bulls Eye graphic indicating a Firing action.

Do note that this strictly for the end of Turn arty plotting.
Any LOS HE fires - LOS mortars, etc - will be done the same way
just like the small arms, tank firing, etc.

I regret to say that doing smoke/flares - I think you'll need to craft
a 'jig' to use all of the needed keys.

Good Luck with all that, Sir.
I do hope that this can help you.

I'm a righty - I tried the lefty style
and I did struggle. A Live and Learn thing for sure.

RE: Firing artillery
I know all that. I can only fire smoke /flares as long as I have direct los to the hex. Indirect fire like barrages are no problem. But, I cannot use smoke/flares. I was wondering if they could implement a change to the PBs artillery dialogue where you can pull it up, have the option of HE or click on smoke if it can be fired by that arty unit.

I get what you're saying.
The PB IF Dialog would be handy for all that.
Maybe Providence can be gracious for this.
