Hey we are ganging up on you M, :lol:

I will go along with Gunner here as it seems very very unlikely that i will be taking howeys into the field in the current games, cost to much for to little effect.
I have been playing around with CB army's and i can see the absolute max of arty i deploy being 3, 4 looks a no no, that is actually fine with me as again i agree with Gunner that 4 out of 20 slots being arty is to many.

Heh

Discussion is good, no problem there. I am hesitant to make any judgements yet though because Gunner and yourself play similar styles of game and only a few CB32 battles have been fought.

Once we've all had a go at it over several battles using different factions and different strategies I think we'll be in a much better position to draw inferences out of the observations.

There is always the lurking option that I'd been hoping to add for ages of putting in a short range canister ability. Howitzers of this period fired canister over short ranges ... would this change anyones mind?

Good point, I never thought of that, maybe others will use them with a different idea to me and Dougie, who, as you correcly state, do play in the same type of style.

Yes, fair enough.

Sounds interesting to me, anything that makes for more options is good news, but, one more time - howitzers are to expensive, hehehehe.

Heres the results of a test game versus AI. 4 howitzers were taken by the Russian (me), kills are respectable I think though not terrific.

464 kills from the 4 batteries (12 gun models) at the rather enormous price of 4600f. Cost = 383f per gun, kills recorded 38 per gun, 10f per kill hehehe, don't you love gathering statistics?

Hi guys I'm back, not feeling a 100% yet, i think i have liver and kidney damage :cry:

I'm getting to old for these jollys.
Mind you we are discussing a trip to the Munich beer festival next year

Anyway back to business,
One important point here M, you will get a lot more kills with howitzers against the AL as they tend to attack in one large mass, offering a nice big juicy target, unlike the long thin spread out lines of the players. :wink:

Yes, sure. In fact, this is why I did this type of testing with AI. Howitzers are best at attacking big blobs and blocks of close packed units as you say. Humans tend to spread out their troops for this specific reason...to not attract too much artillery attention.
