Artillery in T2K

[Raellus]

How have you dealt with artillery in your campaigns?

After the TDM, ammo would become increasingly scarce as the last stockpiles were steadily depleted. I'm sure that some low-tech shells could still be produced here and there but supply would not be able to keep up with demand.

By 2000, I see most artillery (105-203mm in NATO armies) being totally subordinate to Divisional HQs and higher. I don't see an infantry platoon in heavy contact being able to call in a fire mission for anything other than mortars. In fact, I think canon mentions something about the increasing importance of mortars as the war drags on.

I also see whatever SP artillery is left around being increasingly used more or less like assault guns in the direct fire role. It's a more effective way to make every shell count and with fewer tank and hi-tech AT weapons around, SP guns wouldn't be quite as vulnerable near or on the front lines.

What's your take?
