Boar! boer? Huge difference. boar=pig, boer=farmer

Quite right, mountain guns didn't help much as the Boers didn't much believe in being on mountains, more in the way of being light mounted infantry. Getting the gun to the top didn't help much as there wasn't anything to shoot at.

You are correct. Rifle between the knees on the first movement... On the fix it never leaves the right side.
