Title: Can Artillery (O) on wagon shoot from its rear edge?
Post by: lorricount on March 14, 2014, 07:55:51 AM

Can Artillery (O) on wagon shoot from its rear edge?

Pg 35 of the rulebook
Ttrain and Boats count the edge first contacted by an enemy front edge as their front
edge and train count any other edge in contact as a side edge and no edge as a rear edge,

As Artillery (O) on wagon counts no edge as a rear edge and can shoot from its front edge and flank edge, can Artillery (O) on wagon shoot from its rear edge?

Thanks in advance.

[it] No. p34 "Shooting Edge: The base edge shot from is the "shooting edge". This can be a front or flank edge ... if Art(O) on wagons, ... otherwise only the front edge".

Cheers,
Ivan.
