While prewar British artillery doctrine called for precision fire aimed at destroying individual machine-gun positions with minimal expenditure of ammunition. They soon learnt in the fast-moving battles of the desert that getting rounds on the ground as fast as possible was more important. Response times were rapidly increased so that within minutes of a target being identified a battery can ‘stonk’ a large area or concentrate everything to ‘murder’ a small target.
In Flames Of War
The Artillery HQ pack is designed to fit out a whole eight gun battery with its staff. You get three Command Rifle teams (one for each Gun Troop and one for the HQ Troop), a Staff team, two Observer Rifle teams, two OP Carriers and a Jeep. All you have to do is add the eight 25 pdrs.
