Forum dedicated to the Scourge of War Game set during the Napoleonic Wars. Scourge of War: Waterloo follows in the footsteps of its American Civil War predecessors and takes the action to one of the most famous battles in history. It is by far the most detailed game about the final battle of the War of the Seventh Coalition.

How can infantry get rid of enemy artillery?

In a scenario where i had no cavalry on hand, I succeeded to clear the enemy infantry around an objective, but I was notable to push away the artillery that was staying behind. I tried to fire at it and charge it, with zero result. How can infantry get rid of enemy artillery?

You have to flank it at the same time you're charging it. With the flanking unit a little more distance than the charging unit so as to keep the cannon facing the charging unit.

Artillery will automatically retreat when any enemy gets within 100 yards when it's not supported by infantry.

I've found that skirmishers are good for making artillery go away.

Use skirmishers, they are particularly useful for chasing away artillery.
