I like the Napoleonic variant, and want to use it for my Historicon game. I had
a quasteion about rifles and muskets. The musket takes a shooting phase to
reload and the rifle the whole turn. Does this mean that they both fire every
other turn, but the rifle can not do anything else while reloading, or something
else? Thanks

... On paper a 3+ would appear high, but in your game was this the case? Was the casualty rate to high for the game? Personally I'd stick to Sharpe as it has...
