Horse Artillery

Post by plato »

Are horse artillery only allowed in a cavalry division? The information on divisions on page 17 of the main rulebook is a bit confusing to me as to whether 'horse artillery' are 'artillery' as per what is allowed in mixed and infantry divisions. They say they can have one artillery, but I am unclear as to whether that means only foot batteries. Trying to point out my Prussian 1813 lists and they are required to take a horse battery. Want to figure out what my options are for where I can place it. This also seems to indicate that the Prussians might be required to have a separate cavalry division if the horse artillery can only be placed in a cavalry division.

No reason that horse artillery cannot be included in an infantry division (unless I guess this is specifically stated in a particular army list).
Historical as well. HA frequently supported infantry formations.

Since they can keep up with cavalry and unless it states no artillery don't see the problem with taking them.

I've tried them with my Westphalians notr managed to get them to work well mind

Although it's not actually stated anywhere cavalry divisions can only have horse artillery units. (logic dictates ....)
Infantry and mixed divisions may have both field and horse artillery units.
