Under the Parameter Data is the category of Multiple Arms effectiveness. What units have these? I dont believe I have noticed any.


Multiple Arms:
10 at 1 hex

As opposed to Mixed Arms which I have seen units with.

Mixed Arms:
4.25 at 1 hex
1.25 at 2 hexes
0.4 at 3 hexes
0.25 at 4 hexes
0.1 at 5 hexes

Col Strickler:

The answer is it depends upon your title. A lot of time the Parameter Data is reused from one title to the next. I have seen a lot of Mixed Arms units in Campaign Ozarks, particularly in the Boonesboro scenario with the Missouri State units.

I suppose the more complete answer might be that when the PDT's are reused from one title to the next, there may not be any units in the one you are looking at in particular.

I got it off of the HPS Gettysburg Parameter Data. Its odd because a repeating rifle only has a rating of 8 at the range of 1. So I assumed maybe it was mixed artillery but then it would have a range of greater than only 1.

I think that the 10 at 1 hex was used for Benjamin Butler's Headquarters for any 24 hour period after they had chili for a meal. I only found General Butler in one scenario that I played and I had to air my computer out for the next 3 days.

It's always nice to see the Union General's turning on their own - it adds such a nice historical feel to the Club [:p]
