Overview
Despite the name, foot artilerry batteries are towed by horses. The arillerymen, however, march alongside their pieces rather than ride. Because the guns can be loaded with round or canister shot they are effective at long and short range: canister shot turns cannons into gigantic fowling pieces. Artillery is slower than the rest of the army and, if left behind and undefended, will be vulnerable to cavarly attacks. Disabling the enemy's guns should always be a high priority for a general, and artillerymen only have the most rudimentary sword skills for their defence.
