No artillery fi re at night except Cannister. Only 1 GP can fi re out of a Town/Village hex. Cannister [17.4.9]: When artillery Opportunity Fires at units entering their hex, roll twice, but ignore the modifi er for targets in Column, size AA+, or terrain. Add the casualties AND the morale result together, but apply Loss Adjustments seperately to each roll. Special cases Grand Batteries [17.3]: When more than one artillery unit fi res, sort the fi ring units by Light/Heavy and add up the gun points in each category. Read the Fire Values from the table, using the longest distance for each type. Roll for Light and Heavy artillery separately. The losses are added together, but use only the worst morale change. If a category contains more than 5 gun points, treat it as separate fi res of 5 points each, with odd GPs combined in a single fi re. Only one artillery unit may fi re at the same target hex, unless all fi rers are adjacent to the target, are in Close Combat, or qualify under national execeptions: FRANCE Pre-1805 units may fi re together if stacked with or adjacent to each other. From 1805 no restrictions. RUSSIA 1807 or later units may fi re together if stacked with or adjacent to each other. PRUSSIA 1813 or later units may fi re together if stacked with or adjacent to each other. AUSTRIA 1809 or later units may fi re together if stacked with or adjacent to each other and of the same division. Corps artillery counts as its own division. From 1813, drop “division” restriction.
