O1.0 COUNTER BATTERY FIRE

Indirect counter battery fire was a technique that was developed during the Great War. Starting in 1915, players may choose to have their heavy artillery regiments conduct counter battery missions against enemy artillery regiments.

O1.1 CONDUCT OF COUNTER BATTERY FIRE

Prior to the game, the player designates which heavy and super-heavy artillery regiments will conduct counter battery fire and against which enemy regiments. Only artillery regiments that are in general support may be pre-designated for counter battery fire. The player then rolls a d6 and determines the results from the table below.

Modifiers are used as required.
