Historically carronades were specialized piece of ordnance that fired a higher weight of shot but with a lower powder charge. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants. This advantage can be a damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area.
Anti-LargeAnti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.

As with the armies of the Empire, Undead pirates drag their artillery onto the battlefield, with the hisses and cracks of smaller, handheld black powder weapons commonly preceded by the thundering booms of Carronade fire. Carronades are comparable in size and power to the Great Cannons used in the field by the Empire, capable of causing a similar scale of devastation upon living targets and even reducing solid walls to rubble from afar. As they sail off, another round of broadside cannon fire sends the ransacked ship and its blood-soaked decks to a watery grave. They first incapacitate their target before the zombie hordes board, murder, and loot according to their master’s will. Many ships of the Undead fleets are equipped with broadside cannons known as Carronades or ‘smashers’, so named for the quick, splintering work they make of even the toughest ship hulls when brought within range. Broadside cannons for sinking mortal ships are devastating when used in the field, pulverizing living flesh and solid walls.
