Artillery

Hello,
What effect if any does artillery have in combat? Is it a ranged unit?
Thanks in advance.

Hi

Not ranged

AFAIK, the only bonus is by the rule that the greatest the number of different unit types, you get a bonus to AF (or DF)

My feeling is that artillery is somewhat underrated since all you need is any two different unit types (artillery can be one of them...) to get the "# of unit types" bonus. My feeling, and this should probably be posted in the "Wish List"topic, is that artillery and the whole concept of combined arms could be beefed up/better represented in proportion to the actual number of unit types involved (and perhaps even the actual type of units...) in combat and not based on a threshold value of only two unit types regardless of the actual type of units being considered. See http://old.wargamer.com/forums/posts.asp?t=589896&h=artillery&pg=1#656085 for more discussion on this.

This one is on my list.  Not a v1.0.8, but I like it for v1.0.9.
I have to tinker with the best solution.  It may be that if you have 3 unit types in a battle, then each unit gets bonus.  Four types get more of a bonus, and so forth.
