If you are in the middle of battle, and cannot move up, do not worry about it. With your ability to ignore all terrain restrictions, regular 2D rolls will quickly degrade the enemy's attack ability.</p> <p class="p1">B.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>If you are only rolling 1D, then you need to push up as soon as<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>you can.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>A great time to do it, is in concert with a strong attack card.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>If you get an Attack (3 figures), or better yet, an Assault (everone in a section), then you can move and attack with all the others, but reserve your Artillery, for just a move.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Since you already have two or more other units attacking, you can usually afford to have a reduced attack this time in the hopes of doubling your Artillery attack hits for all future rolls.</p> <p class="p1">GeneralHowitzer.com</p> <p class="p1">#Memoir44</p></blockquote><br> Upload Files:Add another file ...Maximum files: 2 · Maximum file size: 6 MB · Allowed file types: jpg,jpeg,gif,png,bmp,pdf, webp, heicCancel Please leave this field empty Don’t miss out on Memoir 44 tips and news!
