My previous post has got me thinking about heavy guns and cannister. I am beginning to think that heavies are getting a raw deal. Surely a blast of cannister from a 12 pounder would cause more casualties than the equivalent from, say a 6 or 4 pounder. If so, should a heavy battery receive an extra dice per gun model?

Yes , I agree that a heavy gun would have a bigger blast, but a medium or light piece would have a higher rate of fire and thus would do the same amount of close range damage as a heavier piece. Where the heavy piece would have an advantage is in range and that is reflected in the rules.
