Wittenberg Artillery - new standard

The artillery have just received their new standard (I used the Saxony SYW artillery standard). I also thought they needed a drummer too.

    I've noticed that a great many SYW Artillery Standards were more elaborate than Infantry or Cavalry Standards for the same nation. I wonder why that is?

    As far as I know, artillery standards were not used in the field . . . almost certainly not for individual batteries.

    I have however seen artillery standards in various publications. They might have been used in camp . . . or simply kept back home.
