Melee limbered artillery battery - Jagger - 05-24-2017 I just had a limbered artillery battery dash out in front of my defensive line. I have a regiment close enough to charge and melee the limbered artillery. But now I am wondering. Can you melee and capture a limbered artillery battery or will the limbered battery simply retreat if attacked and loses the melee? RE: Melee limbered artillery battery - KG_RangerBooBoo - 05-24-2017 The battery will take losses but will be able to retreat RE: Melee limbered artillery battery - Jagger - 05-25-2017 (05-24-2017, 08:58 PM)KG_RangerBooBoo Wrote: The battery will take losses but will be able to retreat Thanks. So an infantry melee with limbered artillery can knock out guns. The scenario is Chickamauga. The 4 guns pulled into one of those small open fields off the Brotherton road. They were fairly close to my artillery, 5-6 hexes, so I used artillery fire instead of an infantry charge. My artillery actually knocked out 2 of the 4 guns. I was fairly surprised. Usually all I see is fatigue accumulation with counterbattery fire but close range and in the open appears to have made a difference. Lesson learned. |
