Rallying Artillery: Rare??

Post by Blathergut »

So, a commander may not join an artillery unit (French attached officers in 1812 excepted). There is no way to recover cohesion loss for artillery?

A a division or corps commander only needs to be within 4 MU to rally or recover a unit in their own command. There is no need to join the unit.

It is rare. The odds are low, and first you need to dominate the ground again.

I thought a commander only had to be within 4MU of a unit to recover cohesion, the commander did not have to attach.


Why would not any Artillery commander be able to attach to artillery ? Many armies (France, Russia) had specific Artillery generals.

Correct. Just within 4MU.

The 1812 French list allows for artillery officers.
