JTS Gettysburg pdt bug

[-72-]

All the pdt files in the Gettysburg title (v. 3.0) have this line for the Whitworth:

W 2 0 14 3 21 2 28 .75 35 .25 70 .2 -1

This prevents the Whitworth from firing at targets within 2 hexes. An edge case but still a bug.

I reported it to JTS and was told it would be fixed in the next update.

It can be fixed by changing the line in question to this for example:

W 1 4 14 3 21 2 28 .75 35 .25 70 .2 -1

Which seems appropriate since the Whitworth seems to have fired only solid shot and not cannister, albeit quite accurately.

Just an FYI as I'm also searching for Gettysburg opponents. We'll need to agree on a pdt to use.

To put things in perspective, this is about 2 guns.  2 guns which in the battle (iirc) were set up on Oak Hill - a fair distance away from anything. Personally I would think any Confederate player would have more problems than worrying about setting up Whitworths in areas that might become close range.

I doubt I'd even call it a bug, but it seems rather more like a ratings disagreement.
