When the confederates captured the Gosport Navy Yard near Norfolk they obtained with it more than 1000 heavy naval guns. they then used these for a large part as coastal artillery in forts along the coast and rivers. If the south captures Norfolk in this game how will these stores of heavy guns be handled? will they get a number of free "bonus" coastal artillery units?

Also the naval yard itself with it's facilities was one of the best in the country, will there be any additional benefit to it's capture (besides the obvious ability to build ships there)?

Sounds like a great idea to me :coeurs: . Hope there wouldn't be too much to program :siffle:

I'm not handling the actual scripting of historical events (just the code behind them), but I do think that Philippe Thibaut planned several things on capture of Gosport. Perhaps he will provides you with more details.
