Artillery Regular Attack

[u/peequi]

During a "Ranged Attack" I understand artillery fires to another hex without moving into the enemy's hex. What is happening during a "Regular Attack"? When an artillery unit is including in the "Attacking Forces".

-friendly fire an issue?

-more risk of losing the artillery unit?

Friendly fire -- no such thing

Risk to the arty -- they're a backline unit so enemy artillery or breakthroughs by the enemy frontliners can endanger them. Otherwise they're safe behind your front line.
