Replacing Soldiers in an Artillary Brigade

[Albert Sidney Johnston]

So, yeah, I know this is probably a super stupid question, but I can't figure out how to replenish men in an artillery brigade... I mean, I can add extra canons, but other then that, is there any way I can just replenish the manpower? Sorry to ask, but I can't figure it out.

If you've lost a few men from a battery, but less than 25/1 gun, a single click on the troop slider will do it.  It's good to get in the habit of checking all of your batteries after a battle by seeing what happens with a single click.

Roughly, each gun = 25 men. If an artillery unit has taken less than 25 casualties, click the replacement bar once. It will move a bit, and you'll see a count of men at the bottom of the replacement dialog ... but the number of guns won't go up. One click will replenish the damaged crew. Clicking twice will replenish the damaged crew, and add another gun (and another 25 men). Essentially, it goes in increments of 25, and the first one can be less than 25 based if you've taken damage.

This is really, really important. If you've taken 24 losses, and go into the next battle without replacing them, you will lose a gun the first time you get hit. Do this too often, and you'll find yourself running out of guns.

Thank you so much for your help!
