The question has come up recently as to how indirect fire in FIW works and what abilities those units that possess it have. I must admit that I have been unable to find it in any of the manuals. Can anybody describe exactly how indirect fire works?

The way I use it is to select the artillery dialog. When I come to a cannon I want to fire indirectly, I hold the 'alt' key down and click on a hex. The program then selects which of the seven hexes (targeted hex and six surrounding) actually gets hit.

Results can vary from 'No Effect', to 'Fatigue', to actually hitting people. With FOW on the firing person won't know the results.

It was a good add-on to the game, imo.

Sir,

Thank you for the response.

Ha. I am NOT going to tell you.[:D]

Oh, I see Al did, so...

We are using it quite a bit in our MP game. We can keep our artillery well back and out of your LOS. In this scerario we have ranges of-- OOOOPS, not going to tell you[;)][:D][:D]
