    Default Best Artillery Units

    Which Artillery Units would you rate as the best ones in

    1. Early Game
    2. Mid Game
    3. End Game

    I personally find the Horse Artillery Units most appealing. They can be rapidly moved across the field and provide fire support. I find that massing 4 units of 6lb Horse packs a good punch and has amazing speed on the battle field. Starting Game Armies in my games always field Horse artillery.

    I also find the horse arti to be a great addition to any army. The ability to deploy them without hampering the movement of your army is great.
    That being said, howitzers have their uses to in that respect.

    I love those Russian long rang howitzers. Talk about lie back and think of England!
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Horse artillery is good, but I prefer to have just a few to flank the marching enemy. Aside from that, it moves quickly over the map.

    My favourite artillery units are the Howitzers, even if an elite 8 lbs. is more effective.
    I think I love Howitzers because of the scenic effects, not because of the battle. As I said, if you groom your 8 lbs. and make it become elite unit, then you are really going to hit your targets... and if you manage to have six elite 8 lbs. units, well... the enemy would better be scared.
