Smoke obscures the battlefield

After several volleys of musket and cannon fire, smoke begins to obscure soldiers' view of the battlefield. In a pitched battle, smoke not only limited visibility but irritated soldiers' eyes and could make breathing difficult. In the confusion, many soldiers were killed by "friendly fire" from their own side.
