Light cannons pulled by large horse teams for speed, horse artillery may be used like artillery but has the speed necessary to accompany moving cavalry.
Artillery supports the other regiments in an army, and friendly infantry or cavalry must be present to protect the guns. Although pulled by teams of horses or mules, these heavy cannons are slower then horse artillery.
Cavalry regiments employ both a short range pistol and a saber. These mounted troops are excellent scouts and can be effective when attacking unprotected or unsupported infantry.
Infantry regiments are armed with short range, muzzle-loading smoothbore muskets. They are slow on the march and are strongest when firing from fortifications or entrenchments.
