MG Specialization

[kjchan]

So dumb question but if I choose say the Artillery perk over the Infantry perk, do those bonuses only apply to my Arty units?

[The Soldier]

Yes.

Rats, I was hoping it was like your specialization in the beginning of the campaign where you have to choose arty, inf or cav.  

That MG skill tier probably needs to be rethought then.  Why wouldnt you always pick the infantry specialization as the vast majority of pretty much any corps is infantry?

There are a few grand battles here and there where you get to deploy a second Corps to the same location. Theoretically you can give your first corps a bunch of artillery and shell the enemy locations with some scouting help for an entire first phase and then have the second Corps come in with a normal composition and clear out.

This tends to work a little less well once real fortifications come on as you just really won't do any damage worth talking about to the infantry and may not be able to get spotting information on the artillery, generals, and supply.
