Regimental Artillery
Posted: Sun Dec 06, 2009 4:05 pm
Hi Barry,
me and my silly Saxon/Westphalien Army
Westphalien Regimental guns are 2x6pdr for the regiment, Saxons have 4x4 pdr light guns as support in each of their 8 Infantry Regiments.
The question is how may I use Regimental Artillery?
Stationary with DEFEND orders as all Artillery, but MOVE and ADVANCE... would she keep up with the Infantry? Or would the Infantry slow down so that their support guns can keep up the pace?
In case of being charged - the Infantry it belongs to - they do the same test for how they react and when to open fire, like nerves of cold steel or frantic as recruits. Eventually as brigade support fire...?
In my opinion I would use them within the brigade and as they are not to be used away from their parent regiments they would go with them when ever, where ever. If the Regiment looses half its strenght the Artillery cease to exist. because it can no longer be properly supported or covered.
Thats a question Dave may be facing too with his "Utitsia-Project" If he intend to fight it... Poles have Regimental Artillery too![Exclamation :!:](./images/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif)
Happy for any comments
