Dan, that isn't the rule rule I am referring too. The applicable rule is the character leader skill from 20.52 of Campaigns & Commanders.
Quote:Mortarman/Artillerist: Once per turn, an active undemoralized Leader Character with this skill can add a +1 column modifier to a Bombardment Fire attack on one hex made by on-board mortar and/or artillery units he activates. He does not have to spot for the mortars or artillery units to give this bonus (he needs only activate them), but can spot for them normally if he has LOS to the target.

My initial take is no but the second paragraph 9.52 is not entirely clear. There is a -1 shift on the Bombardment Chart that applies to all friendly fire.
Well, that's opinion. We are leaning more toward the yes side, but are still not decided. Mostly because there would be decisions within the action, unless these guys automatons.
