Use of Artillery Spotters in Operations


Recommended Posts

I was wondering if unused artillery rounds carry over from battle to battle during an operation. I recently completed an operation and during it I used my spotters during night battles but thought they may have been more useful during the day with more ammo. If it doesn't carry over, then I should use ever shell, right?

The rounds do carry over, but the total rounds for each spotter will never exceed the maximum set by the operation designer. Your men receive a certain amount of resupply, and your spotters will be given more rounds depending on the level of resupply. You really don't want to waste arty rounds at night against targets you can't see unless you have a pretty good idea what you are shooting at. If you have less than maximum resupply it would be better to use night battles to build up your ammo supply for daytime.
