Illumination Rounds

[plloyd1010]

"Any direction"? Seems a little hyperbolic to me, especially considering the limited ammunition for this type of fire mission. Americans when using star shells, normally fired them behind the enemy, thus minimizing illumination of their own position. Nearly every one fired star shells out along their path of advance or in the direction of expected enemy approach. That seems to be more than one hex away.

For the game I am in now, we have 9 turns of darkness and only 14 illumination missions to use. Of that I can expect 11 or 12 to be successfully placed, and I've used 4.
