A question.

Im not sure I like the difference between suppression from sheaf and
concentrated barrages.

Shelling almost an entire battlegroup should be the same as shelling a
tiny
part tohroughly.

I'd say that all artillery should suppress as per the rules for
concentrated
barrages.

--->Wouldn't that make open sheaf to powerful for suppression since it
covers such a large ground? Remember, open sheaf gets one template per
model, if you have a battlegroup of 6 models that's six templates, while
concentrated is still one.


Also, the Tank killer bonus attacks would apply only versus tanks
wouldnt
they ?

--->Yes, need to edit that.

Finally, when is a battlegroup in cover for suppression purposes ? 50%
of
the models in cover ?

--->No. The rules state that models get cover on an individual basis,
therefore a battlegroup straddling woods with some in it and not others,
only those in get the cover not those out. Remember you can target
freely so you could pick off those in open ground of go for those in
cover. It's an extra layer of detail, but it makes sense in real life
many of those forming a combat group won't necessarily be all in the
same cover (especially if it's not big enough to accommodate them) and
those not in it get picked off.
