Thank you for TOW tactic content please do more

I wrote a simple program to simulate the cannon ball bounce some time ago. After a million shots, the conclusion was that aiming 7 inches from the front of the target unit was optimal. For three ranks of infantry it works out to the same target point, but for small units there is a small difference.

This is so old school it warms my Longbeard heart!

I really hope dwarves get a new rune in there arcane journal that gives them +1 wound to their D3 damage rolls or lets them reroll the D3.

As an empire player I’ve got all the other artillery but the canon and I didn’t understand how it worked with regards to the artillery dice having never seen one before I just skipped picking up a box of a canon and you’ve made me confident to get a couple many thanks steam tanks are awesome

Let's see your take on battlefield positioning of the cannon. I still subscribe to putting them on the extreme flank angled toward the centre of the enemy's line to maximise targets in your firing arc, however there is a school of thought that supports putting them in amongst your line to support with grapeshot.

[tonk]

Pretty sure youre not allowed to target a point that may hit either a lone character or a friendly unit. Youd have to position the initial point somewhere different so theres no way of it accudentally making contact woth a friendly unit.

Great video, thanks for the tips. I have one question, as the cannons don't shoot aiming to units but to points, it could be valid that the cannon hits models engaged in combat?

Played a game on Tuesday and used the Great Cannon without an Engineer near it for the first time in a long time...What I've learned: I will not be using a cannon ever again without an Engineer 🤣 1st turn, Cannon misfires and I roll a "2" on the chart, out of commission till turn 3. 3rd Turn, Cannon missfires and I roll a "3", out of commission until Turn 5. My cannons generally do very well and I absolutely love them in this edition, not because they are better or do more damage (which they do not), there just seems to be more viable targets for Cannons in this edition like large monsters and Dragons.

Love this videos! Wanna see more battle reports!

Nice video ty! How do flame cannons work? Can they put the template past units, impassable terrain, forests and such before the artillery die roll? Basically: How do they draw line of sight to the point where they put the template down first.

I feel like I should have joined a grumpy Englishman's patreon to get such great advice.
Thanks

So another advantage to linehammer is that the maximum number of casualties you will take from a cannon is 1?

[notoriousnz]

Can you explain please about empire engineer master of ballistic rule? Can i use reroll of single artillery dice once per turn only for one war machine, or for each war machine i have on the battlefield in enginer's command range?

[capussa]

Personally I'm surprised it took you so long to learn of this trick!
Also I miss the old days when you had to guess the range from your war machine, good artillery commanders could eyeball the range and still hit their target insanely often

[eldardave]

First!!! Looking forward to another great video!!!

[jacawandersmok]

With the like shoot on steam tank 2 and 4 i thin for me problem is how thick is potnt?
For me is problem with the ege of the base?

[Raygun]

What if you shoot through the unit diagonally? Do you pass theough models or ranks?

[matthewlee]

My first time using a cannon, I rolled 3 misfires! One initial misfire, engineer re-roll misfire, then the final roll of 1 for a destroyed cannon. Typical luck for me!
