Remains messy and I would suggest that artillery is just removed when lost as clean and simple. This seems to be the usual suggestion to the issue these days.

Out of interest what are the playability issues you see with Kevin's idea? Any why strange?ravenflight wrote:Sorry Kevin, I just think your rule is an attempt at recreating realism (noble) at the extreme expense of playability, and also it seems a bit strange.

But do you think it is worth having rules such as Kevin suggested about capture or would it be better to go with the simple remove enemy Art when contacted?benjones1211 wrote:I have only captured and used artillery effectively once, and it wasn't the hits, just the -1 on the test added to my own shooting.
Well worth it IMO.kevinj wrote:But I thought it was worth canvassing opinion to see how people felt about retaining a capture option.
I think it depends a lot on the amy. The Loius XIV I considered the compulsory artillery a tax, and paid the 24 points and kept the light guns back where they wiuldn't get lost. Sometimes I even deployed them with my baggage.hazelbark wrote: I have found a lot casual players just minimize artillery as a liability.
Not a thing I'm aware of. However, if people think that now would be a good time to say so ...hazelbark wrote:I am in favor of plain removal.
But I would like to add a related point, should they count as 2 for being lost? I get that historically this was a bad thing, but I have found a lot casual players just minimize artillery as a liability.
Agreed Nick - take 'em off but only if the capturing BG wants to - I suspect the only time this option would be chosen is if you were well on top!!nikgaukroger wrote:I am of the view that removal of captured artillery is basically agreed and we can say that it will be in the update.
Last call for arguments against ...
Any related issues still welcome to be raised and discussed of course, but I feel that the one for this topic is pretty much a done deal and we can sort the wording in a bit (should be easy enough IMO).
Nah, I disagree with this. Take them off, with no options IMHO.quackstheking wrote:Agreed Nick - take 'em off but only if the capturing BG wants to - I suspect the only time this option would be chosen is if you were well on top!!
Clean and simple!
