I was just about to post the same question. For example, if I were
not able to overlap, then my detachment of 10 siege artillery units
would not be at its full potential against a small target detachment.
Here is my solution to the problem:
When placing barrage templates, they must be placed edge to edge until
the point that there are no more enemy units to cover without placing
templates on top of each other, and after a "second" layer has been
layed down, then a third may follow and so-on.
Alternatively, you could say that artillery cannot destroy more units
than are under the barrage template(s)
