Thanks! In terms of books, I assume that you're looking for recommendations covering Napoleonic Warfare generally and not just for the Artillery. In which case: The Background of Napoleonic Warfare - Robert S. Quimby Battles Tactics of Napoleon and his Enemies - Brent Nosworthy Swords Around a Throne - John Elting Tactics and the Experience of Battle in the Age of Napoleon - Rory Muir The first two I've read thoroughly and are generally good reads, they provide lots of info without getting bogged down. Quimby focuses much more on the Infantry side of things, but lays out the developments in military thought that occurred prior to the Revolution rather nicely. Nosworthy is great if you want to read about more battlefield stuff, and he covers all three arms. The other two I've only discovered more recently and haven't used them as much, BUT I wish that I'd found them earlier as they both seem great so far.
Pontonniers: Napoleooooooon, why can't we be part of the engineering corps? Napoleon: Because I said so. Now start laying pontoons before I give you something to cry about.
System XI was to replace the Gribeauval structure. The improved design of an over weighted and higher velocity 7.1 Livre de Paris (7.6609 lbs.), was to replace the Gribeauval 8 lber at the divisional level first. Napoleon’s project was only partially completed. Livre de Paris = 1.079 (American/old English) Pounds. French and Spanish armies used the Livre de Paris and the Gribeaval system. Thank you, great job! Wellington, when asked who he thought was the greatest general answered: "In this age, in past ages, in any age, Napoleon."
He never said that about Napoleon. "I once asked the duke whom he considered on the whole the greatest soldier on record. I believe others have asked the same question of him and received the same reply - Hannibal." Lord Ellesmere, The Spectator, 27th of November, 1852.

Christmas comes again!
Very informative and well done. Are you a 1/72 scale modeler by any chance? The best scale.!
I don't model in that scale, but I do own A LOT of 1/72 Napoleonic figures from when I was young. It is a great scale.
