You and Paul were in a melee and my volley took out his men and then carried through to take out a few of yours also......the fact we were on the same side didnt diminish my glee.
Re: Out of ammo
Barry Hylton in his Republic to Empire rules had an interesting way of dealing with this and stopping people using their guns too often - a battery was allowed 4 shots before it had to leave the line to refit or resupply.

Re: Out of ammo
I do like GM's idea, you may start running low and it could deteriorate every time you use them. A nice element of uncertainty.

Re: Out of ammo
Somebody should me a clip of some reenactor's firing a cannon on YouTube. After a couple of shots you could see f*ck all because of the smoke. I know this not on the original thread but must have a major effect on accuracy and effectiveness.

Re: Out of ammo
For real next-level trolling, take that overpowered infinite ammo sniper artillery... and mount it on a camel.
Point it at your opponent’s elephants and feast on their tears.
