In the oob for Wissembourg it mentions different rifles for the 2 sides (without stating what they are ie breech-loading). In the army notes it says that the chassepot had a longer range than the needle. But I cannot find anything in the firing rules to cover this.
Are they treated the same or have I missed something ?

For the Chassepot, check p.87 Wissembourg scenario. Chassepots are superior breech loaders and get a +1 casualties when firing-not overly generous but perhaps enough to slow the Prussians down!

Don't worry-I missed this first time round as well!

Thanks Matt. Your right not overly generous. I may give them a longer range but keep the modifier and see how that works.
