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.

So the choice is three rounds a minute if your soldiers are good or a gun no one can aim and which jams after several shots in this period due to its numerous defects as its just being introduced. Lovely.

Given that rifles and muskets seem to be the better alternative here (Unless you aim to be up close to the enemy) probably time to put bright colonial uniforms back into my NS xD
