Artillery Ammo

Post by BOSTON »

What kinds of artillery ammo will each artillery unit have? and will it be the same selection for all artillery units? (not asking for the game to be historically correct with every make and model cannon) Will there be a chart in the Manual or printed seperatly, about the range of cannons and effective ranges for different types of ammunition used and otimum situations to use these ammunitions?

Most guns will have the correct four types of ammo, solid, shell, shrapnel, and canister. The howitzers have the correctly increased shot count in their canister rounds. The 2 Whitworths only have solid.

Will battery COs have ammunition commands?
