In 1871, the British Army, which had been using breechloading field artillery since 1859, reverted to using muzzle-loaders. What lay behind this change, especially given the demonstrated effectiveness of Prussian breechloading guns in the Franco-Prussian War the year before?

Where can I find information on the WWII 961st Field Artillery Battalion?

My Great Grandfather, D. Darrell Huffman, whom I knew and passed when I was 8, served with the 961st FABN. He left us a map of his journey in Germany during 1944-1945 which I will attach. I’ve been searching all over the web for years, and have found so little. From what my family knows, he carried the radio for his unit. He also, somehow, found himself spying inside of a SS bunker, leaving with a knife belonging to an SS officer. My family inherited this knife, and do not know how he came to own it.

His battalion was in Dachau the day it was liberated, and I was able to visit the camp in 2018. It was surreal.

The only information I’ve found that discusses the journey of 961st is this account from a member of the 173rd FABN. I found this a few days ago and it has been incredible to read, and cross reference dates with my Great Grandfathers map. Here is a link to that PDF.. FYI - the dates line up to the day.

The only article I’ve found, written specifically for his unit, the 961st, is this right here.. Unfortunately, other than this specific website and listing, I cannot find it anywhere else.

This may not be a typical question, but I’ve exhausted so many options and wanted to check if anyone here can help. It’s been a lifetime goal to find accounts from my Grandfathers unit and anything linking his name, Dencil Darrell Huffman, to history.

Link to Map: https://imgur.com/gallery/qrLMr1h

Edit: His full name was Dencil Darrell Huffman, but he went by Darrell.

Cathay's reveal trailer shows soldiers and artillery positioned outside the walls during a siege. Was this just a marketing thing, or will we actually be able to take the field? Here's why I think we should.

Walls and towers don't really add much to a defence when ass-ladders exist. If I position archers on the walls (as you'd expect to be useful), they get chewed up in melee, and the preset positions you have to use when placing units on walls means I can't just have melee units on the inner half of the wall and press a button to swap them to the front, as I would expect to happen if every enemy had a magic ladder.

So what happens is either I decide to hold the walls and towers (which don't do so much when the enemy is bunched up at the ladders) by using melee infantry, or I spread cheap archers as thinly as possible along the wall to activate as many towers as possible, and then draw them back inside as the first ladders are raised, preventing the unit of goblins from keeping my archers too busy to fire and holding them in place while the Blorcs arrive.

Cavalry. While cavalry are currently just about fast enough to get outside the gate, they aren't able to properly manoeuvre to a flanking position, given how close to the walls the attacker starts. Harassing units on their approach should be an option.

Artillery without a parabolic line of fire are particularly useless in siege battles, and placing them outside, under towers and guarded by troops (because lets face it, we're not getting artillery on walls are we?), would allow us to leverage their damage dealing potential (if we wanted to). This gives the towers and wall units more time to fire.

If the AI did this instead of keeping their six warp lightning cannons on the final point with nothing but a unit of skavenslaves for company, it would make siege assaults more challenging too.

To be clear, I'm asking for the option to do this. In some situations keeping your artillery inside and defending the capture point will be best, but in others (and if you're feeling cinematic or bored of the same strategy) you could defend the walls in style and adapt realistically to the sort of world where any humanoid can climb any wall in moments.
