Extra button in arty unit

haenkie · Post by **haenkie** » Jun 30 2005

I want an extra button called, bombard this hex.

Bombers have an option to bombard this hex, they both have an option to fire a missile at some hex. But i want my arty to bombard MY chosen hex.

It is irritating to see your arty bombarding a fairly innocent AA unit while a hex further there is an arty unit bombarding them!!

Can you please give me an option to control this feature better, then blasting everything out of the way first and then your arty can bombard the only hex left with a unit.

'Attacking that unit' didnt work, they rushed forward to fight it head-on, failry stupid as an arty unit.

I agree, this would be quite useful.

Yeah. I wanted to bombard a nearby base and couldn't....

There is an option to 'attack unit', I think if the hex is within your border, but usually giving that order to an artillery means your unit goes dashing off to physically attack it, not bombard it. Attack unit for artillery should mean bombard it if in range (but don't advance towards target if out of range).

At least then you would be able to target the more distant enemy artillery and leave that lightweight AA unit for later...

Agreed. We need both options
1. bombard hex, which spreads the damage to all in it.
2. bombard unit without the arty moving off to get next to the target and get slaughtered.

Yes, something specific to make the artillery fire from where it is sitting rather than moving around getting killed.

That would be a great thing to see !! Kinda a bit annoying to see our art moving out of its position to go close fighting with the enemy, what tehy intend to do? boxing ?

And to go along with this, I think we need Range Circles!

Range Circles are a definite "Coming Soon". (By update 4) As far as Bombard Hex goes for artillery units... we'll see what can be done.
