Another rules question regarding artillery. Do you have homegrown rules to differentiate between small light muzzle loader artillery and larger modern shell firing guns?

The way I differentiate is by the number of crew. Since shooting dice is by crew number, it makes it really easy to give bigger guns increased effectiveness.

Not yet, but thinking about it.

"Since shooting dice is by crew number" Chuckaroobob

A larger shell firing artillery piece does not guarantee more crewmen than a small obsolete muzzle loader. I could always add more crew members.

Yeah, my crew sizes are not historically accurate, but it is an easy to get the effect I like.
