There is good news however, I got out my sources tonight and it appears I may have left a battery of 2 x 30.5cm guns out. Apparently 2./s.Küstenmörser was there with those 2 x 42cm guns, and they participated in the bombardment together before being whisked away. I will look at adding that battery in the next version. Surely in three days of bombardment with both of those batteries of siege guns, the troops inside would be worthless, and the guns units would have enough disruptions as to warrant an assault (a few un-disrupted are fine, as they would lose those 2 guns in the defense, and repeat). :)
Hi, just qurious: Did the Germans ever capture Fort d'Manonville during their 1914 offensive? If I'm not mistaken, Luneville was occupied for a short time, but I've been wondering about this fort (having always had problems reducing it in the Grand Campaign).
