And interestingly, it seems like the original game designers have the Archer back-to-front! The Archer's 17pdr was rear facing. Unless there are game code limitations for this.

It was the "Achilles" that lasted to the mid fiftys not the Archer. I own that book and that bit of info is wrong. Another source clears that up

As for the Icon, a few seconds thought as to how the game handles Icons and targets enemys should give you an idea why it's backwards in the game. ( seriously...think about how it works. Icons turn to FACE the enemy, how could it do that if the guns pointed to the rear )
