[Rules] 7.5 - Off-Board Arty - 7.4 - Initiative Level - War In The Hedgerows: Operation Epsom

[broadsword]

At the end of each day's Campaign Phase, players roll one die to determine the number of off-board artillery missions he or she may use each turn that day.

In my campaign, the Germans rolled poorly and had NO offmap artillery available for the entire day. The British rolled the max for artillery and also have air strikes every XX:30 turn.

This really swung the battle overwhelmingly in favor of the British, making their attack unlike any opening day of Operation Epsom we'd ever see in any of the original PGBN scenarios.

Is it realistic for the Germans to be able to have absolutely zero artillery for the first day? What plausible historical situation would justify this?
