Ranging In – an artillery primer
By Robert Kelly
This article originally appeared in WWPD many years ago. I thought it would be worth dusting it off and updating it for those who missed it the first time or are new to the game.
In all you have to know about ranging in on a target is that you have to have guns available, an observer with eyes on the target and that you have to roll dice. In real life, it was a bit more complicated than that, but not much. Having served 18 years in the Royal Canadian Artillery Ill explain how the Commonwealth artillery would have ranged in, but the same principles apply to other countries as well.
