Saxons - difference between 1866 & 1870

[mollinary]

Lemmey,

Yes, that is exactly what I did when I put together my Saxons.  As you probably already know, the horse artillery were armed with smooth bore 12 pdrs not rifled guns, so you will need to ask Leon to put in the guns from BA 12. These are not as a lot of folk-lore has it, old heavy Napoleonic guns, but new (late 1850s) short barrelled, light, shell guns.  Think the equivalent of the ACW Napoleons.  Their real problem was short range, and the Prussians in particular never really got to grips with how to use them without getting blasted by longer range rifled guns.  The guns in BA 12 are lovely little models, and a couple of actual examples are still on display in the Bavarian Army museum in Ingolstadt.
Looking forward to the photos!

How about teams? Will the Bavarians do for them too?
