I'm designing a wargame (information below) and I'm struggling with several issues which I'm going to post seperately in the appropriate forums.
My question here concerns the modeling of artillery fire missions. I would prefer to do away with the recording of indirect fire plots on paper that is typical of most wargames and use marker placement instead.
What this would imply, though, is that artillery fire missions could be called in the time frame of a couple minutes.
How long does it typically take from the time that a fire mission is requested before the first round(s) fall (for adjustement) assuming that the guns are not otherwise engaged? And how long does it typically take from the first rounds falling to an on target fire for effect?
("How to Make War" is a DIY project for now, you can get everything you need at the Armchair Brigade website.)
