Barry,
while reading the rules and following your hint regarding "Siege"-Rules I asked myself how to classify a costal or River Fortress after BUA? Some of this Forts are builtup Earthworks but others are quite more than that. Let alone the lines of fortifications from Cold Harbor to Richmond and Petersburg. Pure Field artillery wouldnt do much harm so siege guns and Mortars are to be needed.
Btw., Batteries may not be that strict handled to have 4 guns for
Confederate and 6 guns for
Union. I would rather say 30% could be 6 guns for the
Rebels and 30% maybe 4 guns for the
Union.
Also the Artillerytypes is of good use at the start of the Civil War but 1862/63 the
Union working on 12pdr Napoleons and 10pdr Parrots. The later are to be replaced by 3"Ordonnance Rifles in the 1863-1865.
The
Confederates used whatever they could lay their hands on and with the help of the
Union they refurbished their Artillery 1861/62 replacing 1841-6pdr and -12pdr with Napoleons and Parrots.
I realize that the rules should be for fun and swiftness but a lucky shot over 2 miles across the table with a battery of Withworth 12pdr are a fun you wont miss. So done while playing Johnny Reb firing at extreme range and hitting a moving battery
He never know's what hits him
Just a few thoughts which all could be dimissed if made for "house-rules".
