Whats the best use of Artillery? Is it for bombardments, smoke, AT? Also, if I bring two artillery batteries should I bring Mortars as well? Or do Mortars work better?

What's your opinions?

Well the question should be how do you think artillery works in your list.

If I'm using British para's the artillery is to damage the enemy/force them to move, but can also help the mortars with smoke.

Other times artillery is just a threat forcing the enemy to spread out.
It is what you make it

Like most things in Flames it's totally situational. Could be for a smoke screen so I can flank some big cats, or advance some guns.

Also pinning. Such as my Vielfachwerfers in my 21st panzer division stug battery. Cheap, and lobs marshmellows at things. However great for pinning troops, and killing squishy things.

Counter to that I have 3 - 6 15cm lorrain schelpers (sp?) which pretty much blast everything out of existance. Generally force him to manuever against my Stug's, catch him with his pants down, and spank him with the arty.
