The final Github upload for now is some notes and references about the establisment of the New Model Army’s artillery train. The army was mainly planned by the Army Committee, but the Accounts Committee objected to the establishment for the artillery and produced its own smaller establishment. These lists and the debate between the committees give some useful insights into the intended (which is not necessarily the same as the actual) size and composition of the artillery train, and into how armies were expected to operate. For example:

• Medium field guns (sakers) were not expected to be concentrated in artillery batteries, but to be split into pairs attached to foot regiments or in ‘places of advantage’.
• The role of pioneers included cutting gaps in hedges so that infantry and cavalry could march off the road, freeing up road space for artillery and transport.
• More evidence to support Stephen Bull’s argument that artillery was already using canvas cartridges in the 1640s.
