In the army lists, there are terms like Foot Battery, Heavy Battery, Horse Battery, Lt. Horse Battery, and Position Battery, but there is no corresponding indication of what kind of artillery piece fits each.
My question is, where would a 12-pound, 8-pound, 6-pound, etc. fit into this scheme?
See p. 45 ("weight of artillery").
At the end of each Army List is a table that tells you whether a given battery is heavy, medium or light and the number of guns and howitzers in it.
Essentially:
Heavy = 12pdr
Medium = 6pdr - 8pdr
Light = 3pdr - 4pdr
Thanks friends. Don't know how I missed that!
