Gettysburg 2018 - Kaboom...!

I know you didn't ask me but I can say that volley fire was discouraged as it left multiple guns unloaded at the same time and it made it hard to see if your shots were on target. Generally, fire wouldn't have been that rapid even if done down the line - unless directly attacked by infantry two shots per minute per gun would have been typical.
Thanks for your response.
Actually, I was asking you and anyone else reading through this thread. And your answer is just what I was looking for! Thanks!
 
At the 150th at Cedar Creek they had a night fire demonstrantion which was interesting.
Not sure how often artillery was used under these conditions during the war.
