Description
Honour can be lacking in modern ways of warfare.
A cannon range allows the training of artillery units.
During the Napoleonic Wars in Europe, artillery was the main killer of men in battle. Infantry might take and hold ground, cavalry pursue enemies and lend a touch of class to the vulgarity, but it was artillery that did the heavy work when destroying the enemy. This truth remained, even as infantry were given rifles rather than smoothbores: even though infantrymen could now kill their foes at great distances, artillery had developed too. Rifled artillery barrels and explosive shells had become standard issue. Artillery remained the most "technical" of the branches of army service, and the one that, arguably, benefitted most from modern industrial practices.
