Hi,
This is probably a silly question but how do you emplace artillery pieces as I can't see how? I've been playing ETW for ages but have never been able to.
When I play against the AI in a battle it always emplaces its artillery with nice looking sand bags and revetments and a cool gunning platform for the artillery which protects it from my artillery. But how does it do this and how can I do it? When I select my artillery when deploying them I can't see any way to emplace them, so how do you do it please?
Thanks.

Thanks Thrashmad. Yes I thought there might be a downside to emplacing artillery. However, such artillery pieces seem to be invulnerable to round shot from enemy cannon (but not exploding ordnance), and above all it looks very cool.
Might be a good tactic to have 3 or 4 static artillery pieces arranged in a semi-circle to cover the approaches and entrench them. I'm thinking Battle of Borodino, Russian gun emplacement style sort of thing. Might look good but probably very impractical.
Cheers.
