So I think it is very much a trade-off. It certainly isn't a no-brainer. (Except for salvo Swedish to compensate for poor firepower without).

I opt fot reg. gun in the ones that will be deployed on sides of the infantry line becouse theese units are the ones who will probably shoot to mounted and reg guns ore the best in order to shoot to thoose target

Good plan. I found this useful too when I had some points left and nothing to spend it on but 1 RG.

In this plan infantry with r.g. are good, commanded shot with r.g. are .... GOD
