The latest addition to the project is a battery of French foot artillery. Bizarrely, I’ve got very little uniform information about artillery so had to rely on my ever reliable single combined volume of Funcken books (has all the Lace Wars, Napoleonic and Franco Prussian in it) and google for most of the details.

I haven’t normally collected limbers in the past, possibly because they don’t have a direct influence on game play: Simply declaring artillery as limbered is usually acceptable during most games. However, I often regret not having them (for aesthetic reasons and completeness) so I’m going to push the boat out for this project and get just enough to be able to represent guns on the move. The footprint of a limber is quite large so I’m going to limit them to one per battery.

At some point I might add the traces but, for now I’m leaving them off.

One thing worth pointing out about the photos is that the French artillery green isn’t quite so green in the flesh (lighting?).

I think they came out alright, and hope you do too. The figures are all Front Rank.
