Indirect Fire on to a point on the battlefield?

[Gary]

Is it possible to fire and range in HE rounds on to a point on the battlefield using the current rules as written?

For example I want to range my mortar or arty onto an objective or point on the map to make it hazardous to capture/occupy it.

Currently you can target a point on the battlefield with smoke rounds. However the rules for HE indirect fire use the term target unit even though the implication is you are targeting a point on the battlefield.

Not in Bolt Action unless you house rule it – shooting target must be a unit (with the exception you already know of for smoke), only other provision is shooting at an empty building with a view to destroying it.

I was just about to ask that myself 🙂

Has anyone come across any houserules for that situation that are nicely balanced?

Thanks
