@SeaYa another edit I forgot to put in the original post, for added strategizing, if the attacker has other sea units in addition to transports battleships and cruisers, those other surface ships can be used as casualties. To help the defender, there’s no limit to the number of coastal guns that can be placed in territories.
Paris Gun/Railway Gun for A&A1914
-
I recently picked up both the French Railway Gun and the Paris Gun from HBG. I’m curious how others have incorporated these units into their games of A&A1914. At the moment I’m torn between a strategic bombardment role (aimed at IPCs) and a long range support role (providing artillery support to combat in adjacent territories).
Also, in terms of cost, I was thinking somewhere in the low double digits (12-15 range) - cheap enough that it can be bought in one turn, but expensive enough that a player will have to think about it before buying.
Any thoughts?

I’d probably go with the strategic bombing, since that was how it was used during the war.

Treat it like a BB, bombardment from 1 territory into another territory under attack. A4 D1 M1 C12
