It is good Philippe saw him in the room. The 4th Ed. adds an interesting dimension. Combining would certainly be permitted, though I think there is little precedent of SPA and towed artillery working that closely. Is there an artillery officer in the house to comment on the technical feasibility?
I never really paid attention... although I am a Radioman, and called in some artillery, gunships/airstrikes, and Medevac, I was never really focused on what was going on in the heat of the moment. I was just kind of on auto-pilot reacting to the situation at hand. I know we did try to coordinate some of what would be considered OBA, but much of that was actually pre-planned. Most of the firepower that was brought to bear, in my experience, was based on very fluid tactical situations and close in support was typically provided by fixed and rotary wing assets.
