Puckle Problems

[Didz]

Just discovered another problem with puckle guns.

Not only is it impossible to order puckle gunners to return to their guns, but I've just tried using puckle guns in a breastwork fortification and they basically dissappear. The breastwork is created but its empty. I thought it might just be a graphic gliche but in fact none of the puckle guns fired during the battle, and I discovered that in some cases the puckle gunners were still standing on the battlefield in their original deployment location even though their guns had been removed from play by creating the breastwork.

So, puckle guns are pretty cool, but extremely fickle and fragile to use. Also, I have to say that from what I've seen so far cannister fire is more effective.

p.s. On a more positive note, I discovered quite by accident that contrary to what you would expect puckle guns are excellent at destroying buildings and fortifications. The puckle shells seem to mince solid stone beautifully and are far faster than solid shot at getting the job done.
