Because I've never managed to turn artillery into an effective killing machine, unless there's a lot of it.I'm assuming you're playing your own campaign on WinSPWW2? One thing I learned on their forums that's important is that relocating your artillery after it fires: if you do a battle right now you'll notice that after 10-15 turns, there will be a few spotted enemy arty pieces in the enemy's side of the map, even though you have no troops there to see it. That's because WinSPWW2 allows you to locate enemy positions by sound, and this simulates how in real life you would have a rough idea where the enemy batteries are if they fired enough times. But this works in the same way for you, so buying some support trucks is a good idea to fire a few salvos and then high-tail it out of there to a new location. Take some time before the round starts (when you're deploying your troops) and try to find a good spot for your arty where you can fire and then move to a new spot in a few turns. Normally I'm too lazy to do this and I lose all my arty .

Now perhaps for some close action 45 mm AT? You are doing wonderful job storytelling. WinSPWW2 is one of the games (from the others perhaps DF) that is wonderful to read about but not that easy to play!
Can you like, upgrade my conscripts a little? AT nades, AT rifles?
