Looking here:
[url]http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altpreußische_Heeresorganisation[/url]

I found an interesting point:
"Unter Friedrich den Großen kam es zu einer weiteren Aufgliederung der Artillerie. Jedem Infanterierbataillon wurden zwei kleinkalibrige Kanonen als leichte Artillerie zugeteilt (pro Regiment 4 Kanonen). Die Bedienung dieser Geschütze erfolgte zur Hälfte aus nicht ausgebildeten Musketieren."

That sentence essential states that every infantry battalion also had 2 small caliber canons attached.

So I wonder what the artillery units in the game simulate, the normal field artillery units and the light artillery canons attached to each battalion?
Or are the light artillery canons incorporated into the infantry units?

The small artillery guns included in the Prussian infantry units are already "built in" in the combat power of the Prussian troops. So the artillery in the game represent the more 'independant' artillery units. :cool:
