3-Pounder Cannon (2-1/2 in. bore)
One of lightest artillery pieces available, 3-pounders are typically
mounted on small naval vessels and skyships in fixed positions or in
field mounts to be used against light targets and infantry. At least a
two-person crew is needed to man the gun; increase the load time by
2 full rounds if manned solo. Explosive Shot Blast Radius: 2-1/2 .
Barrel Length: 4 . 6 in.
6-Pounder Cannon (3-1/3 in. bore)
A favorite to use within basic fortifications and on larger skyships,
these guns pack a respectable punch and yet remain fairly mobile. A
four-person crew is needed to man this gun; increase the load time
by 2 full rounds per crewman less than four. Explosive Shot Blast
Radius: 5 . Barrel Length: 6 .
9-Pounder Cannon (4 in. bore)
Once the mainstay of mobile artillery corps, the 9-pounder has been
finding itself replaced by the 12-pounder and increasingly relegated

Note: The amount of black powder required to charge an artillery piece is 1/6 the rating of the gun, so a 6-pounder requires 1 pound of black
powder to fire (whether loaded with solid shot, explosive shot, or canister), an 18-pounder requires 3 pounds of powder per shot, etc. In
addition to the listed amount, every shot requires ½ ounce of powder per pound-rating of the cannon to prime the gun for firing, and
explosive shot requires an extra ounce of powder for its fuse.
to a garrison role. A four-person crew is needed to man this gun;
increase the load time by 2 full rounds per crewman less than four.
Explosive Shot Blast Radius: 5 . Barrel Length: 7 .
12-Pounder Cannon (4-2/3 in. bore)
These are quickly becoming the most common artillery piece on
the balefield and remain common on heavier naval vessels. A sixperson
crew is needed to man this gun; increase the load time by 3
full rounds per crewman less than six. Explosive Shot Blast Radius:
10 . Barrel Length: 8 . 6 in.
18-Pounder Cannon (5-1/4 in. bore)
The largest cannon in common production, the 18-pounder is
typically restricted to defense of established fortifications and
mounting on naval assault vessels. Larger guns exist, but they
have not been mass produced and remain rare. A six-person crew
is needed to man this gun; increase the load time by 3 full rounds
per crewman less than six. Explosive Shot Blast Radius: 10 . Barrel
Length: 11 .
