He guys i have a question. I can't seem to find how many dice arty crews get in melee. and if they are forced to retire(from melee) do they leave the gun? |

Since crews are 5 figures, just one less than Skirmish Groups, I would go with Table 16 and give them 6D6. As they are at the bottom of the Troop Quality in Fisticuffs, most troops will get +4D6/Group against them. Also I would assume they count as without Bayonets which is -2D6/Group and will probably be Unloaded, another -2D6/Group. In all likely hood they will be severely disadvantaged in any melee. |

Hi Phil 6D6 basic. Unloaded depends on whether their gun is unloaded or not. They won't get penalised for "No bayonets" as that is already reflected in their being at the bottom of the troops quality list in fisticuffs. Remember, artillery crew can evade (bottom of page 32) but if they do they abandon their gun. If they are forced to retire from fisticuffs they most certainly leave the gun behind. Hope that helps.
