Hiya folks,

A couple of questions for the hive mind regarding light artillery during the 9 Years War (particularly French):

1) Were light guns 3-5lb used as "battalion-guns" in this period or deployed in batteries?

2) what size crews did they have? (cant be easy to manhandle gun + powder & shot)

TIA
