GAH!

Vanya usually like placing his artillery masterpieces on the flanks and turning them in so they face each other. Vanya then puts His infantry in between to goad the enemy to assault them. The lure is stronger if, like Vanya, you place your infantry with their backs to the approaching enemy. When the hapless enemy fools rush in and take the bait, unleash canister shots from all artillery positions into the melee. It is best that you leave your foolhardy infantry in place to afix the enemy in the kill box. The last thing you want is the artillery goons lollygagging around and fire a few seconds to late and totally miss the enemy 'cause they ran past the kill box. Plus, not only do you kill many enemy mongrels and maggots, you also cull your own lines of the weaklings that keep your army green.

Any cavalry you get is purely for chasing routers and safeguarding the artillery posts.

And make sure you don't place your artillery too far away or the tactic will be a one-sided bloodbath that will not bring you either victory or joy.

Do as Vanya sez, and you too shall bask in the same glory as He.

GAH!
