Light Artillery Batteries?

[zerosius]

Hey there,

I went ahead and wanted to create the 1st New Jersey Light Artillery Battery A, but the Light Artillery Batteries seem to be missing completely at the moment if i am not mistaken. They were definetely part of the Maryland Campaign though...

New Jersey Light, Battery A: Cpt William Hexamer in the VI Corps, 1st Division

Any Info about when you will add the option to create these in the Company Tool?

It doesn't show the type it seems, but all the batteries would be light since heavy batteries would be in forts.

Its just one battery type. The tool is not doing any difference between light or regular battery.

That makes sense for most of the Artillery Batteries, but notably all the Batteries from Slocum's First Division are missing if i parsed that right.

Maryland Light, Battery A: Cpt John W. Wolcott
Massachusetts Light, Battery A: Cpt Josiah Porter
New Jersey Light, Battery A: Cpt William Hexamer

All of these are not available in the Company Tool, although they were part of the Union Order of Battle at Antietam

Check again

Thank you

But to make sure:
There won't be any artillery avatars for a long while. They won't be added until the release of the closed beta/ steam early access.

Besides that, the Platoon name for artillery will be changed into Section

Yeah i figured that it will take a while
Patiently waiting until there are news about the Artillery Implementation Soon (TM) :P
Nice for the Sections.
One Question i got though: Would it be possible to implement the Role of Ordnance Sergeant for Artillery Batteries?
