Proper Cannon unit combo/size
Hi,
I am trying to combine cannons and howitzer into a single unit. At the moment I am using 6 cannons in 1 unit and 2 howitzers in another unit, this is correct configuration but waisting 1 unit slot. I know you can combine different types of men ie rifle, drummer and captain in a single unit and I am hoping this can be done with artillary units so that you get 6 cannons and 2 howitzers (howitzers being the secret weapon of the time) in a single unit with formation of either howitzers being in the middle or rear.
On the same topic also wanted to add ammo carts at the rear that if destroyed artillary can only fire another 5-10 rounds before running out of ammo. But this may not happen till folks can add models, also I am trying to display/turn on limited ammo for artillary units, its turned on for normal units but does not display or work for artillary, any leads??
cheers

Wasn't ammunition carried on the limbers?
But yes, if they were destroyed the gun would effectively be disabled. Unless more shells can be found.

Yes a small amount of ammo was carried on the limbers but mainly limbers contained cleaning and maintence gear for the cannons, the french carried the most ammo in the limbers of about 10 rounds, its odd you never see the ammo carts in films just the limbers. They also had 150 men for 6 cannons, cooks, dentists and ammo carriers who would form a chain carrying ammo from the ammo carts at the rear to the guns. I realy hope ETW can finaly be the game ive always wanted to play.

You can limit arty ammo in the settings.

I did add the limit setting and it works fine for man units showing little green bars but no joy with artillary units, ive een changed artillary ammo amounts and they just keep on firing more than what I had set.
limitless_ammo false; # Enable/disable Infinite ammo on battlefields #
is there another setting I need?
