Some historians have dismissed them as having little impact in battle, while conceding their utility in siege warfare. \u003ci\u003eThe Trayne of Artillery 1642-1646\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to challenge this perception and to ensure that the importance of ordnance trains to Civil War armies is more widely recognised.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing upon previously unpublished archival material alongside a wide range of other sources, \u003ci\u003eThe Trayne of Artillery 1642-1646\u003c\/i\u003e examines the organisation, equipping, and employment of artillery. It explores contemporary ordnance doctrine as articulated by military writers and compares this theoretical framework with evidence drawn from written accounts, offering a comprehensive understanding of operational practice and highlighting areas where practice diverged from theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time in a single volume, \u003ci\u003eThe Trayne of Artillery 1642-1646\u003c\/i\u003e provides a detailed examination of the principal artillery trains established by both Parliamentarian and Royalist forces, including those of the Earl of Essex, the Earl of Manchester, Sir William Waller, the Royalist Oxford army, and the New Model Army. It also investigates the smaller artillery trains raised by regional forces, presenting as complete a picture as possible of this often overlooked and misunderstood subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Trayne of Artillery 1642-1646\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to military historians of the British Civil Wars, as well as to readers with an interest in the development and operation of the ordnance arm of service. Wargamers and re-enactors will also find much of value in this volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 314\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 13, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48457434857721,"sku":"9781804518403","price":59.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/9I3KDrPXuJ9781804518403.webp?v=1780081843","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-trayne-of-artillery-1642-1646-ordnance-and-associated-capabilities-of-english-armies-during-the-first-civil-war-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
