You can eyeball a 6-digit grid with practise. Protractors don't last long outside of a map case. Never saw anybody try to pre-mark grids on a map. That would be more trouble than it was worth.

You don't give them windage. Just give them a good grid, or polar plot, or shift from a target reference point, and they will put it where you told them to put it. Infantry is the Queen of Battle, and the reason Artillery is King is because Artillery puts the balls where the Queen wants 'em.

There are occasional short rounds, but there isn't much you can do about them.
