Sharp Practice Battle Report: The Bridge

[@simonnorburn3518]

chaps - you might want to think about firing canister from a higher position. If it is high enogh to fire over a line of infantry it is highly unlikely to be in close range unless you ae several hundred feet higher. Remember that is a shotgun round and goes equally in each and every direction including beneath itself. Furthermore the general concept of penetration (shots going through more than one poor sod requires the balls that don't go too far skyward, into the ground or to the left and right should be following a vaguely horizontal trajectory. Not to make too fine a point of it, I never heard of the bloke behind Lord Nelson being hit by a penetrating round. Although it'd probably f' the deck up a bit.

Its seemed a little odd as well upon reviewing it in editing and probably wont play it that way again. Rules as written it seems correct but it does not seem like something that would've been done in practice, at least with canister round.
