Topic: Unusual question...

Hi all. For the last month or so I've been toying with wargaming historical land-based wargaming (something that I haven't considered seriously since starting out) and, because of that, my knowledge of artillery classification isn't that strong.

What are the generally accepted breakpoints between light/medium and medium/heavy artillery for the Pike and Shot to Napoleonic era? I'm thinking that the 3-6pdr is the light/medium, and the 12pdr the medium/heavy, but I'm not entirely sure.

Re: Unusual question...

Most rules would classify 3-4pdr as light, 6-9pdr as medium, and 12pdr as heavy.

However, I have seen 9pdr classed as heavy in some rules.
