    Maybe in the much larger maps supply wagons could become a thing just for ammo? It may be worth more effort than it's worth though.

    cool idea. However, I feel like in order to make this feature useful we would have to significantly decrease the amount of ammunition soldiers spawn with.

    Soldiers spawn with 40 rounds of ammunition (20 each Roundshot and Buck and Ball for the 1842, 40 for all the other long guns). When was the last time you ran out of ammunition with a muzzleloader?

    If you're able to get off 2 aimed shots a minute, you'll take 20 minutes to fire everything. That's about 2 lives per game, since games are ~45 minutes at their longest. Even assuming that you can stay alive for 20 minutes, shooting off all your ammo is an impressive feat that makes me wonder if you should be doing something with the team.

    Best,

    The required wagon is already in game. It just needs some work.

    Rarely tbh, I've only encountered it 2 maybe 3 times, hell I've only ever done 1 game where I didn't die and that was mostly because we were skirmishing rather than stood in the line.

    Ammo cart for Arty might add some more depth to the gun bunny units.
    As it stands, less than 1/10th of the unit will likely interact with the field pieces.
    That leaves a ton of guys for guard duty that could easily be available to assist in resupply efforts.
