From the second link :

<b><font color="orange">Next up was Napoleonic Battles, moderated by Bill Peters, scenario designer for Campaign Eckmuhl, Campaign Wagram and Campaign Waterloo. The first issue up was the inability of infantry to melee cavalry. Not usually a complaint, but some players have been placing cavalry in victory point hexes in the last turns of a scenario, betting that the cavalry will not be destroyed by fire before the end of the game. One option being looked at is to allow infantry to melee cavalry in close terrain. Other issues discussed included battlefield smoke (very hard to do except as a general/universal visibility effect), artillery ammo (optional rule may be forthcoming), release ranges (looking at expanding), leaders drawing defensive fire by moving into a hex with other units (change forthcoming) and artillery effectiveness (change made to knock range down a bit). Bill Peters put out some good gouge on various subjects. From a design perspective, campaign choices in the next Napoleon’s Battles game will allow players to shape the battle field force set up to some extent, resulting in more branches and more variability. He mentioned that in many cases, orchard terrain actually represents light woods. He recommended that gamers delete .xxx and .yyy files as they can muck up the system. On a happier note, Bill announced that a free expansion pack for Campaign Waterloo is planned that will include some “what ifâ€

Please don't reduce the artillery ranges anymore. It will make artillery almost useless due to vulnerability.

I choose 1813 also!
