Forward Observer fires for effect! No surprise there!

On my first siege battle the battery was out of ammunition before I had even surveyed the dispositions. Being used to Empires endless shot I thought the guns were broken in the demo. I have since learned to quickly redirect the guns as soon as the battle begins. I've found that there is ammo enough to wreck two towers and the front gate. Capturing the buildings however did not rearm the battery. The capture point was too far away I guess.

I haven't tried buring the towers with fire arrows but that works according to other posts I have read.
