Artillery overrun

[Mowgli]

Is there any advantage to overrun an enemy artillery with cavalry if you have to retreat your cavalry immediatly after?

Since the guns are not lost and can be recrewed I see no real benefit in doing so or are the artillery point losses still there after the guns are recrewed??

We are playing with the 'Artillery capture' optional rule.

Recrewed Artillery ends up being Quality F (even if they were originally A or B Quality) so it's generally worth taking them for that purpose.  Also, if you can't haul them off you can always spike them if you can control them for one turn.

Thanks, I didn't know recrewed artillery always has quality F. Nice to know. So this decreases its firepower by 20%.
