Ogniem i Mieczem - By Fire and Sword

THey have a shot too.

All within range can shoot. Measure range for each base though. So some can be at long range.

When an Artillery Base is destroyed, does that popular mean that always the Crew ist destroyed and the gun itself can be manned again?

I found the special maneuver that dragoons can man guns but nothing to "abandoned guns" itself.

If the crew is destroyed (it loses a wound) then only a canon stays on the table. It can be manned by any infantry (and dragoons on foot) as you have poited out (special manouvre).

In a rare situation that the cannon itself is destroyed, then it is removed from play. If it was manned, then the crew is destroyed also. You can probably destroy the cannon by shooting at it with other cannon, or by any unit in base contact with it, if it is unmanned(i do not remember if you need to spend amnouvre, or just spend whole movement phase for it - it shoud be somewhere in the player book).

Great thank you for your help.

I am trying to understand the game mechanic behind that. Can you point out where in der Rulebook I can find the appropriate paragraph, that the gun remeins on the table?

Also how can I destroy the gun itself? It has no additional armour value like a war wagon in the army list.
