| | Belle Alliance| 3.4.0 Artillery | | 3.4.1 Ranging | Artillery receives a negative factor for ranging, when a target in zones 2 and 3 is fired at for the first time. If the artillery does not fire at the target in the following bound, or the artillery is moved, ranging will have carried out again. When a target is moved more than 20 cm in a bound, ranging will also have to be carried out again. Ranging may be carried out without any effect relative to loss or morale, and thus without any roll of dice. This must be announced to the opponent. The artillery may not fire at other targets during the same bound, including split fire. | | 3.4.2 Overhead firing | Artillery may fire overhead when the artillery is placed one hill layer level above the unit to be fired over. The target must be at the same level as or above the unit fired over, and measured along the line of fire the distance from the artillery to the unit fired over must be at least 10 cm, and the distance from the unit fired over to the target must also be at least 10 cm. When firing over own units, the distance from the unit fired over to the target must be at least 20 cm and canister may not be employed, ref. 3.4.4. When the conditions for firing overhead are not respected, the firing is not carried out, ref. 3.1.1. | | 3.4.3 Effect relative to morale | When calculating positive and negative factors for morale on the basis of differences in number of figures between the firing unit and the target, ref. table 7, the number of gunners in the firing unit is multiplied by 5. Even though the target may be artillery, the target figures are not multiplied by 5. | | 3.4.4 Canister | When artillery receives an order to load canister, ref. 1.1.2, the artillery will receive a positive factor on firing within the same bound, but may only fire at zone 1. When a target is outside of zone 1, the firing is not carried out, ref. 3.1.1. The fact that canister is loaded has effect only for the present bound and carries no implications for firing in subsequent bounds. | | 3.4.5 Non-ricochet | Non-ricochet fire is carried out when firing at the units placed within or immediately behind certain types of terrain. This especially includes soft fields, orchards, and woods, as well as hill layer levels that have a width of less than 10 cm, and other areas indicated in the scenario, ref. 1.1.9. The relevant type of terrain must have a width of a least 5 cm immediately in front of the target, measured along the line of fire, in order for the fire to be regarded as non-ricochet, ref. table 7. | Contents
