Is it possible to unload ammo that can't be fired due to no target within range or arc?
Game 24052 Archon is loaded with DS
Tried selecting RS; which game allows but does not change
Thanks

You can change ammo in the following way: instead of selecting Load "Any empty side", choose to load a specific side, e.g. "Port (left)" or "Starboard (right)".
This will force reloading on that side even if you don't fire against a target.

Thanks for swift response BD ... will try that forthwith

SO does that mean its possible to change ammo at the start of a game without losing 'initial broadside' bonus?

No, it's not possible.
When replacing ammo we are actually using rule X.D, which says:

Rule X.D - A broadside may be fired even if there are no targets, but the advantage of inital broadside is lost.
