It depends on how accurate he is in determining where he is on the map. His grid coordinates are the base he uses for determining the enemy's grid coordinates. The more accurate his location and his "ranging" of the enemy, the more accurate the fire. This plays out very harshly where "registration" has occurred. Registration is when an FO "confirms" his initial plot by firing rounds on the location. Emplaced units will probably have registered key points like bridges and road junctions and even set up pre-arranged fire missions on these locations. An example would be the FO saying "Fire Mission on road juncture 1!" over the radio, and the mortar team dropping 4 rounds in a box pattern on that road. This should give one pause before they launch an assault on say...Krakow.
