It's a big honking pile of sand mounting four guns. In your games do you give it any special status to differentiate it from other four gun batteries of less imposing stature?

You could give it a bonus for plunging fire. But at the ranges that it was engaged in during the two campaigns I doubt the height mattered much. Maybe add some range to it's guns?

From a damage sense, do you think that Battery Buchanan could soak up more than it's fair share of fire? It's so darn big, I'd expect it to absorb fire much better than it's four guns would lead you to believe.
