Gun Factors and Firing Arcs

Danish Crew get a bit confused about which Gun Factors to use?

I was number crunching the GF's and PF's for the Danish ships using the formula in the Dahlgren and Columbiad rules, when I realised that I'd goofed with the ones that I'd worked out for the Prussians. I need to aggregate the different calibres, types and numbers of guns for each firing arc, rather than providing separate rating for smoothbores, rifle muzzle loaders and so on. It won't take long to work out the correct ratings but it does mean that the Danish data will have to be corrected too, before I can post it on the blog. That'll teach me not to read the rules carefully enough!
