The preferred arrangement in the game keeps infantry immediately behind the artillery, ready to move forward when the guns come under attack. The infantry must be angled carefully so its fire does not hit the gun crews. Canister creates another danger when friendly troops enter the artillery's field of fire. As infantry and cavalry cross in front of the guns, firing must stop to avoid shooting them in the back.

Supporting artillery without shooting friendly troops
Keeping infantry behind the guns provides protection, but their angle and movement require careful control of friendly fire.
