Le Feu Sacre does something similar. Bombardment is something that Grand batteries do. The rest is tactical support and is rolled into the firefight/melee.

I have a copy but can’t say I’ve played it. How do they handle long range artillery fire that isn’t by grand batteries?

Batteries fire in the bombardment phase, which is before movement. A battery fires at the closest target unless a commander spends command PIPs to direct it. In the tactical phase, supporting batteries just give a positive modifier in the combat (so if the commander has previously directed the battery to soften up the enemy you are attacking, you’ll get a bonus).
