I wonder if there will also be drills for the iron men on the wooden ships.
One of the things I saw in a review was that the starting cartridge boxes held twenty rounds and it was hinted that that could go up.

It seems a strange tech to me.

Not like the commander says, alright boys, this could be a long day. I want each man carrying 60 rounds into battle.

I could understand if it was loading buck and ball in the cartridges or other special shot, but the number of rounds?

Ship technologies I hope will prove to be more substantial. Copper bottoms comes to mind…a long held British Military Secret.
