I have seen this in a post on this forum but it doesn't explain what a "sheaf" is?

Sheafs are areas or boxes that artillery fall in. Their long axis is along the line of fire.
They can converge and concentrate fire or fire into adjacent boxes diluting their fire.

Thanks, Mobius! Appreciate the detailed explanation. Does artillery fire in PCO "drift"?

It can scatter and be "shifted" back on target as well. The longer the artillery fires at a specific target the closer to the targeted area the fire hits.
Good Hunting.

Hi, MR. From screenshots, I know the Marder will be available on-map. Will it be the same for the Hummel and Wespe or are they considered Off-Board Artillery?

They are considered off map. There is a Grille that is on map.
