Release: 03/2024

This Battalion set arms you with a trio of the new Black Powder American Civil War Artillery Battery boxed sets, which can be used to represent both Union and Confederate troops, at a discount against purchasing separately, and also includes an exclusive infantry commander (not available separately).

By the time of the American Civil War, artillery had become a deadly arm on the field of battle, used in huge numbers by both Union and Confederate armies. Some pieces were still old-fashioned muzzle-loading smoothbores similar to those fielded to such great effect during the Napoleonic wars. However, many more were superbly accurate rifled pieces capable of propelling shrapnel shells to 2,000 yards and more. If hard-pressed, guns could use canister at deadly close range to sweep away attacking troops.
