Looks like rifled muskets might be the norm.

It might very well be the norm, but the option for needle guns is still there. I assume they'd be a bit more expensive than your average rifled musket, so you wouldn't be able to feasibly issue it to a couple million soldiers, but the option is there.

Just a suggestion Rare, would you like to appoint a co-GM to help out a little? I'm too busy for such a task, but I'm sure others would be more than willing to help if you needed it. I'm fine with a more meticulous pace and a slow start-up, but a co-GM could help things proceeded more smoothly. Just my two cents, I'd certainly understand if you don't want someone else interfering.

Edit: AspenIvan, I believe there's still a bit of room. Join the fun.
