Hello forum,
I am currently reading Chandler's "Blenheim Preparation".
Although there is a chapter on artillery, "The Guns", he talks more about the movement, cost and organization and break down of trains. How effective was artillery in this period when taking part in field engagements? Can it be compared to artillery in the ECW were it is more for show and to "Buck Up" the troops, or are there examples of well sited batteries holding off Infantry and Horse attacks.
I ask this not only in regardes to History but also from the wargamers point of view.
cheers
