I'm supposed to be making Californians, now ?

What uniform do they wear then ?

I wish Leon would tell me these things.  =)

Ummmm ... I'm probably going to expose my massive ignorance now, but is the gun a little bit small?  ... or is it far away?

The gun looks to be just about waist height. The Osprey illustration here of a Prussian 6pdr  shows the wheels to be closer to shoulder height.

Bear in mind the figures are on bases and the gun is not. Jack it up to the same ground level and it does indeed reach to just below shoulder height.

Lovely little chaps, Landwehr are the stand out figures...but I have just one little niggle (apart from armoured Mongol horses that is  :)). Prussian Line musketeers and fusiliers are listed as being interchangeable but they are not because the musketeers wore the cartridge box on a crossbelt at the right-rear whereas the fusiliers wore theirs on a waistbelt at the front. Not much I know but noticeable if you can see the front of the little chap.

There's something very strange about wanting to do horse and musket era Prussians and then opting for the Napoleonic period!

I knew that.  :-[ Just testing. Hah!  Of course. On a base. Yes. Oooh look! Uhlans!

I think a lot of folk get caught out by that from time to time.  ;)

Also the 10mm picture (damn Pendraken for showing them) is a 6pdr whilst diagram looks more like a 12pdr.
