Killing them. If you capture them you get points while you hold them with a combat unit. If you spike them no points. Kill them with fire and you get permanent points. I think they need to award points for spiked guns. You do take ammo and get ammo from each gun you capture, so that's always nice. M... |

We've had a recent thread on that, and General Whitehead posted a response that needs to go into the club FAQ files somewhere. He nailed the Optional Rules question.

I just spike 'em and run myself. However, captured guns aren't considered a unit by the engine, are they? If not that would explain why cavalry cannot be meleed. Should captured guns be considered a unit? I'll let y'all debate that. MG Al "Ambushed" Amos, Commanding Officer 4th "Amos' Ambushers" Bde... |

Gen. Bastiani,
Yeah the fault line is near St Louis. When it hit it caused the Mississippi to reverse its course. Had that happened in 1863 Grant may have a tougher time taking Vicksburg! [:D]
