HaT 1:72 1806 Prussian Artillery 8230

From a position of superiority earlier in the century, the artillery of Prussia had slipped badly behind that of Austria by the time of the Seven Years War, and while attempts were made to remedy this in the years that followed, most consider Prussian artillery to be amongst the worst of any major power by the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. Prussia retained the idea of battalion guns, where guns were used in co-operation with infantry formations, which spread their effect too thinly to have much impact. With no central artillery reserve Prussia could achieve little with her artillery when the crucial battle came, at Jena in 1806, and as a result lost almost everything, including hundreds of guns.
