Napoleon's Guns 1792-1815 (2): Heavy and Siege Artillery (New Vanguard 76) by Rene Chartrand
English | June 20, 2003 | ISBN: 1841764604 | 48 Pages | PDF | 9.4 MB

This volume is the second half of the story of the French artillery during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. It covers the howitzers, mortars and large siege (16- and 24-pdrs) and garrison (8- and 12-pdrs) guns, placing a special emphasis on their role, technical significance and operational use. The introduction of the Gribeauval system put in place a collection of mortars and large guns that were lighter and more manageable than those previously used, while offering first class hitting power.
