Hey, Duck, I don't get it. What's the point of this illustration?

He's sending artillery on a direct assault into the fort.

Oh, that's all? He's just being foolish and wasteful of his artillery? You might want to take a minute and explain the benefits of using indirect artillery fire (and naval gunfire) vs. using your artillery units as assault infantry -- for the benefit of the rookies who may be reading this.

Lol well I assumed that would be a given. For the rookies, if click the attack button when using arty and then select a province or unit, the arty will bombard the enemy rather than go into a fight, where they will get killed as artillery cannot fight in "melee" combat.

Yeah and his main assault into Turkey is terrible and artillery took point for most of it, it was never going anywhere.

yeah, I watched that whole thing go down. Looked like he actually sent some useful units in later, but eh.

Yeah he didn't do very well. Tbh should've just SS'd that entire match lol.

Judging from the hasty unit cover up, I suppose Turkey has an an armored car and infantry stack of sorts. Rip Artillery

Lol I guess I didn't do such a good job of covering it up.

Lol will do, thanks. That is much better.

the arty was sent using move command, but you have not taking into account that (if used) HC fire-control will stop the arty from going in to CQC

Perhaps, but I would not use HC myself so this would not immediately spring to mind. The arty does not seem to have a firing type showing though so idk if he is HC or not.

Even if he was planning on firing from a distance, sending arty unprotected like that is a poor choice. As I sent out fast light tanks and AC to chase them down and destroy before running back

Or if you had some Arty, hidden in that Armoured car stack
