Re: Ammo?
Well ammunition consists of two different things for muskets and such. You have the metal projectile, and the shot (or powder). I'm guessing that the low amount of ammunition is a reflection on the powder, and possibly it's low supply or ability to be kept usable.

Re: Ammo?
20 shot is ok for arquebusiers etc. Later soldiers did carry quite the same amount of ammo in the field (officially).
But I wan't to see the footsoldier who goes comfortably with 8 javelins.

Auf, Ansbach-Dragoner! Auf, Ansbach-Bayreuth!
(later chorus -containing a wrong regimental name for the Bayreuth-Dragoner (DR Nr. 5) - of the "Hohenfriedberger Marsch", reminiscense of a battle in 1745 AD, to the music perhaps of an earlier cuirassier march)
Re: Ammo?
I actually reduced my arrow ammo. I gave all archers 12 ammo. I reduced all horse archers by 10 ammo from their previous level. And I reduced all handgunners, musketeers, arqs to 10 ammo.
Now I can't just sit still and absolutely massacred a unit to the last man with bows or guns anymore. I weaken them and then I must attack.
