our group has just started FoG-R again after a long bout of ancients and the topic of artillery came up, and more importantly, being able to move through it.
As we understand it, you cannot interpenetrate artillery with mounted units. This is fine for your own guns and own mounted, but seems to become a bit strange when you capture enemy batteries.
As we understand the rules, if you were to capture a battery with a mounted unit, your troops can not then pass through the captured guns to do anything else (like say loot the baggage or something useful like that). We can't find any exceptions in the rules to tell us otherwise but it does seem a little strange.
Are we missing something here?
We mused on the somewhat gamey tactic of fielding rubbish light artillery just to block up an enemies mounted flank (slightly expensive way of doing it, but if they can't cross the gun line you could block off a decent part of the table that way) so I at least are pretty sure we are doing something wrong here.
thanks
