We find that this encourages them to hold fire behind a hill, blast away at close range and then charge. :-)Getbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07104667996040033566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3036238233886997678.post-59897762863447028992011-03-16T07:21:21.121+00:002011-03-16T07:21:21.121+00:00I think that there may have been differences, but ...I think that there may have been differences, but not much. The French musket was (according to Nosworthy) better than the Brown Bess so quite possibly better than the Austrian weapon. <br /><br />In the early part of the war the weather was awful so both sides would have had wet powder and wet, rusting guns.<br /><br />The French had more combat experience.<br /><br />So I am leaving things as standard.Getbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07104667996040033566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3036238233886997678.post-67379140779823793602011-03-16T02:08:29.120+00:002011-03-16T02:08:29.120+00:00Valuable stuff, thank you.

For example I give British 1st Line Bn's and extra 1 or 2 from the standard 3 to reflect their '4 rounds a minute' ability? I don't know enought about the Austrian army, but suspect their gunpowder, skill at arms training and weaponry might have been better than the French?Sparkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07008013944950635778noreply@blogger.com
