How much artillery ?

[YellowPress]

Wouldn't the cost in resources largely be reflected in the cost of production, maintenance and re-build rather than the 1,000 strength value ?
If only 2 or 3 guns then the loss a gun would be a loss of 300 or 500 from 1,000.

The imbalance in losses between infantry, cavalry and guns is decidedly questionable; typically armies lose hordes of infantry, a few cavalry and almost no guns, leaving a depleted army hugely imbalanced.

Cannons come in batterys, not regiments (except perhaps for admin. purposes), batterys perhaps typically of 6, though not always.

I mean if you look at wiki how large are cannon losses compared to infantry and cavalry? Eu4 armies also regularly exceed wiki force tallies because of how ai will bunch most forces on same continent
