Thank you for the swift reply!

Hello! I purchased the game yesterday, but I am not really familiar with this era and tactics (my main incentive for buying the game was to provide my support to Nick, who has earned it through his excellent modding skills and dedication in following his ambitions). What I want to ask is if there is any guidance/ tutorial/ other material on how to make best use of each unit type and what general strategies should be employed on a 19th century battlefield. I understand that cavalry is weak and mainly to be used for recon missions; line infantry is of course the backbone of the army. What about artillery? Am I to station it at hilltops and set it to auto fire with the occasional switch to more efficient firepower? And what about skirmishers? What is their optimal use? Please feel free to educate me/ point me to some material I can use to expand my knowldege on the strategies of the era.
