I'm not aware that any 6pdr were build in the late war, what is here are surely modified guns only. Even the ANV send back their 6pdrs to recast them to 12pdr, by the time of Gettysburg there was just a single 6pdr field gun in the ANV left.
Problem in my eyes is that the naming does not really reflect the modification, you simply can't use the weight anymore as benchmark for the weapons performance to compare a modified 6pdr with a none modified 12pdr.
One thing to keep in mind, is that in
Petersburg, the weapons in question, are not used. At least, I don't think they are, I can't recall. Point them out if you see one. But on the pdt, "all" weapon types are visible.
Hi, Rich,
There is one in the Jerusalem Plank Road scenario.
But the larger issue is the variations in weapons effectiveness over PDTs in the other games. A Napoleon should be as effective in Georgia as it is in Virginia. In either case, I believe it
should be significantly more effective at close range than a 3" rifle. For what it's worth, I think they overdid it in the Overland package, where a Napoleon is over twice as effective as
a 3" rifle at one hex. I hope as the Civil War titles conclude a standard PDT file that makes sense will apply to all.
