I'd put in a core company for the Krieg if I wasn't worried about it making the list too powerful.
Fair enough and definitely a good reason to place it where it now resides. I have another question on the Krieg that I'll post in the appropriate thread.
However, to get back to more to the intent of my original post, should the Vraksian army have access to an artillery company? Especially at this period of time?
My reasoning for asking the question is that an artillery company or equivalent (in any era) represents a significant command and logistical effort for any army. At this time, it would seem like the Vraksians would be struggling in that regard and that perhaps the three unit batteries "might" be a better representation.
Then the Vraksians can still get access to a lot of artillery if that is what you are attempting to model, but from a fluff perspective, the Krieg lend the appearance that they have better logistics and in fact are able to demonstate this with larger more powerful formations.
A historical model to observe, would be the mid-late war progression of artillery in the WWII Soviet army. Early in the war their organization was unfocused as they just tried to put metal on target. Their inability to perform this function led to the plethora of assault guns that fired direct LOS artillery shells (e.g. SU-85, SU-122).
However, as the war progressed and their artillery arm got their act together, they were actually able to organize the equivalent of artillery armies who were able to coordinate their fire to devestating effect.
Anyway, it's just a thought and I leave the balancing in your capable hands.
Cheers,
