then give me a link to the 400 pounder im sure there were pictures. and it is easy to use a flanking movement with a division. you send like 2 brigades in on the flank and keep about 2 in reserve to send in when the fighting gets tougher

i know how to flank but its hard to move an entire division in a flanking movment.


you do flanking when the fight gets tough? i do it in evrey chance i see. flanking makes enemy moral gets low and gets a damage bonus. you can make your flanking regiment charge. they wont take casualties during the charge. but once they reach the enemy they will fight against the fraightend enemy. and win!

2 units in reserve? and one unit flanking? i would put 2 regiments flanking and one regiment head-on



eh..... there is no 400ibs in history.... sorry i got wrong with my sources of history...

you are right the biggest one is 300ibs. i hardly can imagine how they carried it in the times of the american civil war. its a verry big gun. long range and very heavy ammo.


here is a link for the "parrott" cannon. one of my favourite guns.

does someone have a photo for the 300ibs parrott? i want to see it. it was big for sure.

oh that what i meant. its hard to control brigades. am not stupid. a division when flanking is to send brigades no the entire force. although its hard to command troops with genrals. because of the large space that a brigade uses. i play a game called "sid meier's antitam!" its a good strategy game where you can easily move troops and divisions and brigades easily.

although i can do good flanking strategies in regiment combat. where there is regiments instead of armies and brigades.
