The Counts

This note covers those Trafalgar counts only. A proof table, a carriage spec, and a carronade weight stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE.

32-Pounder Naval Cannon, 24-Pounder Naval Cannon, and 12-Pounder Naval Cannon already have their own credits. 68-Pounder Carronade is a Victory credit. Do not invent a carronade weight from “a battery of carronades.”²
