Re: [SGII][WW2] Artillery was: Here we go again.

Makes sense, a hit the dirt "In Coming" rule.
Speaking as a former "Gun Bunny" you can
hear those things passing over....)

Could expand this out, are those rounds for
you or the unit behind you?

One point about WWII artillery. The flight times of most grenades (this
includes rocket artillery) was so long that the sound of the gun reached
the
intended target before the grenade hit. This allowed soldiers at the
receiving end to yell "incoming" and duck for cover. I suggest that
squads
under a barrage should be allowed a test to go 'in position' -
regardless of
activation status - before resolving casualties.

Very nice idea - perhaps I'll make this a general arty rule ;)
