         That's how SM/TL handled it. You also needed a unit that
 could see the spot you were trying to hit. Barrages scattered
 2d6cm in the direction of the arrow; a "hit" meant the barrage
 was spot-on.
 
         Apologies if this was brought up before; apparently I
 missed a few messages while changing addresses.

          With disrupts or mega-cannons you could force a penalty to
 hit. You could shift FP arty a column to the right when determining
 how many dice to roll.

 After somemore thought why not make all units using their arty ability to
shoot at /hit units they cannot see (indirect fire) into disrupt vice
firepower weapons, with dirupt rolls prorated by the nominal amount of
firepower in the dets shooting, when they can see their target then they
revert to the usual rules.
