Hi

Can anyone tell me what size artillery pieces were assigned to French Seven Years War Infantry battalions?

Thanks for the help.

Cheers Paul

Greetings

Technically French battalion pieces were 4 pdr - see http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php?title=French_Artillery_Equipment. The 'Suedois' fired a 1.8kg shot as opposed to the Austrian 3pdr (1.37lg and Prussian 3pdr 1.4kg.
