On "Dresden 1813" (New England Simulations):

Somebody mentioned that there was a new table for resolving artillery
bombardment in the Canadian Wargaming Journal (?). Does anybody know any
details about this? The game seems nice, but I donīt like the "put more
men into that hex to protect them from artillery fire"-effect of using
the same table for bombardment and close combat.

No game is perfect for all purposes and there is no 'correct' wargame 
short of war.

Matthias,

Here is a revised artillery table for the NES games. I have no idea
whether it is official or what.

Optional Artillery Chart
# of Bombardment Points
Die 1-2 3-4 5-7 8-12 13+
0    -   -   -   -    -
1    -   -   -   -   Dis
2    -   -   -  Dis  Dis
3    -   -   -  Dis  Dis
4    -   -  Dis Dis  1*
5    -  Dis Dis 1*   1*
6   Dis Dis 1*  1*   2*
7   Dis 1*  1*  2*   3*

DIE ROLL MODIFIERS :
+1 if target has 6 or more CSPs
-1 if target is in woods, town, suburb, garden or city
-1 if target is in fortification

Results :
Dis : target is disrupted
#* : target loses that many CSPs and then is disrupted
