Thanks for your feedback/comment/suggestio...Chris,<br /><br />Thanks for your feedback/comment/suggestion.<br /><br />The artillery firing mechanism has two parts. The first is deals with whether or not it will hit the target and the second what damage it will do. Therefore artillery stands more chance of hitting a big target such as a unit in Line or in Column, but will do more damage to the unit in Column than to the unit in Line. If it hits a unit in Square (a smaller target), it does as much damage as if it had hit a unit in Column. That is my intention ... but I need to play-test the mechanism before it becomes set in stone.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-91520915750800922582016-07-19T04:20:26.076+01:002016-07-19T04:20:26.076+01:00Great stuff, Bob!

I would think the effects of hitting a column would be more similar to the effects of hitting a square, given the greater likelihood of having men in the beaten zone. (Hitting a line in enfilade would also be similar...)<br /><br />I realize everyone is going to bombard you with wonderful suggestions, so sorry about this!<br /><br />Best regards always,<br /><br />ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091296131481416326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-59287909549728913812016-07-18T21:15:37.450+01:002016-07-18T21:15:37.450+01:00Duc du Gobin,
