New official scenarios on Ares site

[Diamondback]

Aw, shucks, guys... just tryin' to do a job the best way I know how. But thanks, both of ya.

Another thing Ares fails to take into account adequately is weight of guns: a six-pounder ain't gonna do much against anything bigger than a light frigate or maybe a medium; against an SOL you'd have as much effect as to drop trou and p*ss at the other ship's hull. Replacing that gun with a carronade... well, six-pounders were only good at about carronade range anyway, so in that case each replacement triples that gunport's throw at the same range.

Per the Osprey Napoleonic Naval Armaments volume, max ranges at 10-deg elev:
18# 2130 yd
24# 2630
32# 2493
32#crde 1930 (at 11deg)

From a gunner's logbook found aboard Victory:

Gun	Pointblank	Utmost	Out Angle
3#	400	1760	2000
4#	500	2200	2500
6#	666	3080	3330
9#	716	3520	3580
12#	733	3520	3665
18#	615	3080	3080
24#	650	3080	3050
32#	633	3080	3165
42#	583	2640	2915

You are way too modest about your efforts DB.
Thanks for this latest bit of info.
These Carronades are getting more interesting by the second.
