Hansson Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Maybe because they have to use phone cable to call in the strikes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Check and see if they have a radio. If not, they have this rather large spool of wire to lug around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Yup, that caused me no end of grief until someone told me spotters linked to their artillery via land lines couldn't drive around in trucks. Now I make a point to check whether the phrase (Radio) is there. Also if the FO is using a land line I try very hard to put him someplace at startup where he's not got an unnecessarily long walk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the rear areas they do. But you going to volunteer to drive that nice fat target up to the front lines? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I've found wire FOs best for prep and timed barrages. I try to have a radio FO for those unexpected situations that develop as the game progresses where you want some firepower fast.

Guest Mike Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Y'know this question pops up so often that it might be a good idea to give it a "sticky" thread all of its own!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
