We've engaged the enemy hand-to-hand, but we also have a variety of western-inspired firepower at our disposal, capable of cutting down an
enemy from range. Let's select our Line Infantry and start to use some of that firepower now.
Our Line Infantry carry rifles. They are a direct fire unit that need a clear line of sight on their enemy to be effective.
While bowmen can fire over obstacles, rifle units need to be positioned carefully to give them a clear field of fire. That arc drawn
in front of our unit shows their firing range.
Artillery units offer us even more firepower.Our guns can be attached or "limbered" to horses and pulled around the battlefield.
Once unlimbered, they can be used to inflict heavy casualties on approaching enemies. They're also very handy when it comes to
destroying wall defences in sieges.
These Gatling guns are our most fearsome artillery weapon. Let's use them on the advancing enemy!
With the unit selected, we can choose to either target enemy troops directly, or focus fire on any area of the battlefield,
creating a kill zone that will help block a would-be advance. Either way, any unit who ventures within range will be quickly shot to pieces!
