Gunpowder experience needed

[Doug-Thompson]

Great! I'll do some tests too and we'll compare notes.

Testing fire during movement will be a pain. Let's try this:

Mameluk HA vs. Scotish Noble Pikemen (well armored spear unit)

Deploy Archers in a loose-formation square and turn off "fire at will." Hit "run" and get in range of the unit.

Keep the HA moving by any means necessary. Just be ready to describe it. Keeping them at roughly the same range while firing upon the target from roughly a consistant angle (to avoid skewing the results by flanking fire, etc.).

As I said, this will be a pain.

Then repeat the battle, only keep them as still as possible, and as close to the same range as possible, stopping fire when you have to move.

This won't be easy.

After that, let's try the same thing with Reiter gunpowder cavalry instead of Mamaluks.
