PBW probably best reflects the Mameluke practice of firing and discarding carbines, multiple pistols and javelins in the charge.
Mameluke Ace in the Hole: Nile Gun Boats. Pick one table short side edge. From that side of the table the Mameluke player can fire as a single Art B measuring from the table edge.

Re: Napoleon in Egypt 1798-1801
play tested this today. Fellaheen at VBU 3 and green are just too horrible, just melted away when shot at. Increasing VBU to 4 with the green penalty. Elite Mamelukes are scary, rode down everything in their way. I guess I'll be using square formation next time.
