United States Artillery

Welcome to the thread of the United States Artillery! We are relaxed artillery regiment for the War of 1812 mod that is always recruiting aspiring American Artillerists.




Regimental History

The American artillery of the War of 1812 was a relatively new and inexperienced branch of the army. Artillery had not been used widely in skirmishes with the natives, which was the only real battle experience and American servicemen had. When war broke out, the artillery was organized into batteries that consisted of six to eight cannons each. Most of the artillery were six pounders, but heavier pieces such as 12 pdrs were also used for sieges and bombardment of fortified positions. Batteries often contained one or two howitzers in lieu of some cannons. The British on several occasions used their experimental Congreve Rockets on the US Army, a technology the American artillery was not familiar with.
Artillery on both sides of the war did not play as prominent a role as they had on European battlefields. Both the British and Americans seldom brought enough infantry forces to a battle to create tempting targets for artillery. Cannons and Howitzers took a back seat to light and irregular forces, although cannons were indispensable during sieges of heavily fortified towns and forts, like Fort Erie.

I just updated the roster and ranks and cleaned up the thread a bit. I hope to make this an active regiment again, and we hope that artillery will be allowed in events soon.
