Set the firing lane before the melee
Deck Gunners haul shipboard guns onto land. Deploy them with a direct view of the ground the enemy must cross. A rise in the terrain or friendly infantry can block a shot, so inspect the view from their position before settling the whole formation.
Use Deckhands to engage enemies beside the lane. If the target becomes hidden behind your own troops, turn the guns toward an exposed enemy or move to a safer angle. Concentrate on a visible target while keeping a screen between the crew and fast attackers.
Protect the crew throughout the fight
A flank guard matters as much as the first infantry line. Keep a unit free to intercept enemies approaching from the side, and reposition before the gunners are trapped in close combat. Heavy firearms need time to fire again after a target changes.
A Gunnery Wight adds another firearm specialist, while a Vampire Fleet Captain brings magic to support the wider army. Noctilus’s monsters and Cylostra’s summoned knights offer other ways to occupy threats while the crew fires.
