How to use it
This horse-drawn artillery unit offers good speed and mobility at a relatively low cost. The Horse Artillery unit enables you to position cannon easily and quickly during a battle.
History
Sometime around the sixteenth century, military planners began to see the value of using horses to maneuver light artillery to the front lines of battle. European records show that some commanders integrated their horse artillery units with infantry units and even cavalry. The mobility of horse artillery units offered military leaders increased options in dealing with fluid and rapidly changing battlefield conditions.
