Hi,
Heavy artillery are not allowed to move, so presumably they are not allowed to rotate to alter their field of fire?
Thanks
Mike

Correct - So make sure you point them in a useful direction when you first deploy them.

Hi, sorry but if we are talking about artillery based on a wheeled carrage, then why can,t they change their point of aim, when the gun is fired it will recoil and need to be resited. If this is the case then artillery should be able to reaim, but not move from their position. michael

Most guns of this period were not on wheeled carriages. Certainly not the ones graded as heavy artillery.
