Sure the artillery piece and crew won't be released for months, but at least have the link lead to the rackham page.Cannons are without doubt the best artillery pieces available on Aarklash. Powerful, tough and accurate, they can destroy almost anything man-made. Those in charge of such guns are learned in arts and arithmetic: using such an engine of death is more than science, some would say almost it is art…
A cannon is meant to be placed as far away as possible from the fighting, on high ground when available. If the company has the resources, it is better to assign it an escort unit since the cannon ought to be the first target for enemy scouts. Once the artillery is secured, you will need to pick your targets carefully. The cannon is so powerful it can hit any target on the battlefield, no matter how far away it is. It is therefore wise to use it to either eliminate fighters too far to be caught in hand to hand combat or those too tough for the rest of the company to take care of.
