Yes 2 different calculations.

Im not so sure.

If B is counter charging A , I don't see that C can counter charge, its not the target of a charge.

Yes, I would think so, there is nothing in the rules that forbids it. In fact given that supports of counter chargers can also make a move and even charge when their dividion is activated would tend to lend itself to that conclusion.

Yes

I don't see why it couldn't be faced in any direction you choose. In the English version it has "Unlimbered(or deployed) artillery can make a reorientation in place(up to 180 degrees) and fire" page 39. It seems sensible to me that this covers Artillery that is already Unlimbered and artillery that ...

The +1 is for stationary throughout the turn, so I don't agree with the stationary bonus if you prep then move and the -1 is for limbering or unlimbering and yes if it has to return fire it will have an action marker and get -1.

Its a good question, an example in the main rules would have been good. I'm pretty sure this was debated on the French forum but no consensus or ruling made. For me, its either of Fire at -1 in Prep because you know your going to move, then limber and move in the Movement phase. or Fire in the Movem...

No, I said you can move, unlimber and fire. I said nothing about prep fire, limber and move. I'm not sure the rules are clear on how that works. Whereas I'm pretty sure Herve has clarified the former. I wouldn't have a problem with prep,limber move if that's the way it is. I would have a problem wit...

An artillery can move, unlimber and fire depending on class, but it wouldn't be in the prep fire phase as the move would be in the movement phase which is after the prep fire phase.
