Artillery fire from fortifications?
Whilst I was designing my card for Tripoli castle, it flagged up a few niggles which our players here in Notts have been discussing for some time. One was why the Fort cards with double aspect firing angles only have one loading box unlike the ships which can fire on either side at once, and the other concerned the firepower of the larger forts. Tripoli for instance fields over 150 large guns. A 100 gun ship has a firepower much greater than the larger forts. It would seem that some forts are under gunned. (Raffer please take note!)
The reports and comments from Captains and commanding Admirals of the time showed a great respect for the power of these fortifications.
To remedy this anomaly I designed this new board. Any comments on this aspect of the rules would be appreciated.
