In one review the author noted that his infantry started with 20 rounds each. That was British standard for premade cartridges at one point in time.

However, he also said something about it being increased with a tech and I have gone on about simpleton technologies as a result of that interview.

I know that one special unit (Roger’s Rangers) had standing orders to carry 60 cartridges plus powder and shot so I don’t know how much you can work up to for musket and rifle men.

20 rounds sounds about right for early 18th century. Some might have used more, not sure.

I do seem to remember gunpowder became cheaper during the first half of the century, or maybe I'm just imagining thing. That or the Prussian way of blazing away just took over and everyone wanted more ammo. By mid century 60+ rounds sounds reasonable.

Things like this along with:
- different bayonet tech
- fire drill tech

...are interesting to me as they will add new depth to the game.

I just hope the strat AI is smart enough to research this stuff and we don't get a situation where they simply spam low quality/low tech units that our high quality troops simply mow down.
