1776 - Does the game feel right to you?

It may be that you are getting a lot of enfilade shooting which inflicts more casualties. In my game the British got slaughtered - the artillery is next to useless but worth a lot of points....and seems very vulnerable to enemy artillery even at long range yet can hit one man if they are lucky.

     Both of us are pretty good about minding our flanks and minimizing enfilade opportunities.  If anything i would say that the nature of the terrain and the onus to attack being on the British, they have likely been exposed to more enfilade fire than the Colonials have, but have taken less casualties overall.  As for the artillery, I sort of agree with you on that score.  The American guns were taken out early on by long range British cannon fire, and at least 2 of the British guns have succumbed to musket fire from the colonials (the British moved their guns up close after the American guns were neutralized).  I do believe that in our game the British Cannons are accounting for some of the spike in Colonial Casualties we are seeing.  Being up close they can usually be counted on to kill 3 or 4 with  shot, and we've seen results as high as 6 and 8 from single shots.
