Not an expert, but my 2 cents.... Anchor your flanks on lakes, rough terrain, etc. More difficult in winter when lakes are frozen, but at least you do more damage to anyone on those lake hexes. Set up your line very carefully, having every gun flanked by an infantry division on either side. Sometimes I run out of infantry (I have lots of guns) so I use cavalry, which is annoying because ideally you want your cav to scout. If your enemy has lots of arty, probably best to keep your infantry shielded and/or in skirmish. Unless you have lots of cavalry to charge his guns, after which you can tell your infantry to attack. I was Turkey vs Russia once, one of their guns (in a fort, so I couldn't charge it, tried a few times) inflicted 3000 damage to my troops, I just hid my guys behind ridges. Luckily I was the defender, I played like a turtle and he was forced to move forward to attack. Without his guns it was a lot easier. When he moved his guns forward, away from the fort, I finally managed to charge it to disordered. Perhaps someone can do a running commentary of one of his better battles in a video and post it online, just the important bits about set up and dealing with a superior enemy with lots of guns.
