Today I'm looking at the various methods for basing artillery, and other weapons teams in the Bolt Action tabletop wargame, the answer may seem obvious to regular players, but it's a question new players ask a lot so I wanted to help out.
It has been noted in the comments by @e-4airman124 that I should list my sources for the information in the video. I think that's a god idea, and an oversight on my part. Proving that it's a good reason to post a comment, and read the description.
My sources are all from the Bolt Action 2nd edition rulebook:
Page 31 Distance Between Models. Describes the 25mm area of influence as if each crew member had its own base, even if multibased.
P 92-97 Artillery. this section is devoted to artillery.
P 93 Artillery Units. This describes the unit coherancy.
P 93 Artillery and Measuring Distance. Describes measuring from the breach.
P 93 Artillery and Sight. Describes direct LOS must be from the gun itself, and indirect LOS can be from any member of crew or spotter
