God fights on the side with the best artillery-Napoleon Bonaparte I

If you can learn to use your artillery effectively, your 1 piece of artillery can outlast a thousand poorly used ones.If you can use the terrain to your advantage,your 1 unit shall outlive a thousand ignorant ones.If you can plan your strikes carefully and still attack like lightning,your 1 cannonball shall outdo a thousand.If you heed this guides advice,young general,you can surely overcome any battle. There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things-Niccolo MachiavelliДЄrtillery can make or break a battle.It is the giver of life or death-the messenger of victory or defeat.A howitzer blast into your opponents general can easily force your enemy to flee,yet a burst of canister shot into your own men may seal your doom just as easily.Therefore,the wise general will heed these words of humble advice in this guide before wading carefully into the depths of war the poor general shall jump in without haste and surely drown.

I know,long name,isn't it? But anyway,after making My Units:A General Overview guide,I realized that it can be a lot of fun to create an article,although it is time consuming.I also see that there are still a lack of land battle guides,and even my massive 3-paragraph description of artillery in my first guide still felt to short.With these two things in mind,I decided to make this guide.This will differ from my last one in that I'll attempt to add in pictures and diagrams (diagrams hand-drawn,pictures from google or our own galleries),and,of course,cover only 1 unit type.I hope you all can learn from this,and in the meantime,here's the 'Cover' of my guide (I'll add in all the parts as I go).
