My last question about tanks vs IFVs is done, helicopters and airstrikes will do the job just fine :)

But my new question is: when i buy artílery by turn, it counts as offboard artilery i presume? :)
and next question.....with MLRS it says it must reload 4 turns, so if i buy it for 2 turns, first salvo on turn 2 and second on turn 4 for example. Can i fire on both those turns? or do i have to wait for reload?

The second slove would have to be on turn seven
Turn 2 - fire
Turn 3 - reload
Turn 4 - reload
Turn 5 - reload
Turn 6 - reload
Turn 7 - fire

oh...thank you Micket
but if i buy it by the turn,i will pay only for two turns of actual firing...not for turns when it reloads?

Only pay for the turns of fire.

OK, makes sence........but.....if i would for example (i would not do it, but i think someone could argue with me about that if someone else would do it) pay for MLRS on first turn and on turn three and say it is whole new unit of MLRS so it doesnt need to reload...and then fire on turn four and say it is again a whole new unit of MLRS..... :)

In the military I never worked around the MLRS, only seen either the after effects or the rounds going to there targets. On the military channel showing the history and operations of it.....they showed a MLRS being deploying fire and reload in a few minutes with a tracked auto loader
