[WarInEur] Artillery

[Buckley, John D (Dr)]

We thought the rules would say this with a diagram, but they don't deal with artillery at all. There is nothing clearly defining the factors in the living rules, the decision games reprint, or the SPI War in Europe boxed set I bought in 1982/3. The SPI counters stated defence factors by putting them in brackets - and 10-1-10s weren't printed as 10-(1)-10. I'm not saying you are wrong  but we couldn't find anything in the rules to state the case either way. Where does it say it clearly?
Cheers,
John

I play with

10.............lent to attacking units
1...............defence strength
10.............Movement ppoints


I use the term lent, as I did not play that the 10 was any sort of intrinsic combat value, it only had substance with a ground unit attacking.

A quick query here, which will probably seem odd to most of the experts but I played a four day BWinE using the living rules over the weekend and hit a difference of opinion over artillery. We'd always played that 10-1-10s meant 10 combat strength, 1 range and 10 movement. Our opponents played 10 attack, 1 defence and 10 movement. Other players shared both of interpretations. None of the old and new rules we had with us stated the case either way. I'm happy to go with either interp but does anyone have the definitive answer?
