American Civil War – Artillery Batteries

By the time of the American Civil War, artillery had become a decisive battlefield arm, deployed in large numbers by both Union and Confederate forces. While some guns remained traditional smoothbore muzzle-loaders similar to those used during the Napoleonic Wars, many others were advanced rifled artillery pieces capable of firing explosive and shrapnel shells at ranges of 2,000 yards or more.

Description
Product Details

Rifled artillery significantly increased battlefield lethality, offering improved accuracy and range. When pressed by enemy infantry, guns could switch to canister shot at close range, turning each piece into a devastating anti-personnel weapon capable of breaking up assaults. This flexibility made artillery a critical component of Civil War armies, often determining the outcome of engagements through concentrated firepower and positional dominance.

This boxed set allows players to field American Civil War artillery batteries in Black Powder, suitable for both Union and Confederate armies. The kit includes multiple cannon barrel options to reflect the variety of ordnance used during the period, along with crews and scenic elements to enhance battlefield presentation.
