Napoleon\'s Guns 1792 - 1815 - Rene Chartrand
Napoleon, as a young artilleryman, was trained with the Gribeauval system, created to standardise the French field artillery. The consistency of the Gribeauval system, along with Napoleon\'s personal preference for artillery ensured that the French artillery had a strong advantage over their opponents, possessing considerably more guns than any other army.This volume will deal with 4-, 8- and 12-pdr guns, light 1-pdr guns and later innovations such as the 6-pdr gun, which were used with great success by Napoleon in Italy, Germany and Austria. He remained faithful to this system throughout the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, only introducing a few minor changes.
