“Artillery adds dignity to what would otherwise be an ugly brawl.” – Frederick the Great
Hello again! It has been a while, but rest assured that I have been working hard!
In the previous update, I explained a bit about the map and strategic aspects of the game.
Today’s update will add to that by explaining the use of artillery and fire support units. Because aliens are not the easiest opponents, you will likely need these kinds of things to help you out…
Radio Equipment
The first thing you need in order to properly utilize fire support is a radio. Thankfully, most units deploy with at least one radio operator or radio-equipped vehicle.
Radio-connected units are connected by lines on the map. This gives you an easy indication of whether they are within radio range.
Calling in Artillery Strikes
During close-quarters fighting, artillery can be called in to provide support. Depending on how you use it, this can either prove to be a great help or a giant disappointment.
Remember: Artillery units need to reload too, so be sure to make every shot count!
