I am extremely indebted to Sir Rodney Ffing for pointing out a potentially confusing typo in the rules. Specifically in table 10.7 where it has a line saying 'off table artillery' and showing a max range of 80". This is incorrect and from a much earlier version of the rules. I please snow blindness. Please strike this out. Off table works like this for the avoidance of doubt:
Firstly, there is no range limit for off table, it can be planned to land anywhere on the board, and there is no short and effective range.
So, a live example: British want to fire HE at a preplanned spot. Their class is C2, meaning they only have to throw a 3,4,5 or 6 to land the round. If it was opportunity fire, they have to throw two over their class, meaning they need a 4,5 or 6 to land the shell. Assume the shell lands. Place the burst circle over the spot the shell landed. Throw two dice. Assume they throw a 6,7 or 8 (highest probability on two D6 are 7s or 8s), so it lands spot on. It's a 150mm gun, so anything under a 3" radius is hit. If its infantry or cavalry, the figure directly under the hit point is killed. Everyone else saves on a 5,6 on 1D6. If its a vehicle, throw on the heavy weapons table using the field gun line.
Apologies for any confusion
