Might I may a suggestion for a simple addition to the Hanoverian forces for 1866 to make the line a tad more complete??  Most of the Hanoverian foot batteries were equipped with 6 pounder Krupp breech-loading rifled guns (Smith - Armies of 1866), yet currently the foot batteries offered are 12 pounder smoothbores.  Simply take the foot artillery crew used in H3, and add the guns found in PPW16, and you have the correct mix for half the total batteries the Hanoverians fielded during 1866!  What say ye?  Can we create H7 - Krupp 6pdr RBL with foot artillery crew (3)?  It is a pack that is most needed (at least for me) and one that would not require any new sculpts.

So no, not a good idea?  This seems like such an easy fix to supplying the Hanoverians with their rifled artillery that made up a large portion of their artillery arm.

I've just not had time to go through the request boards for a while, I'd seen the post though.  We'll look at adding it to the range, but we can always supply the guns and crews you need in the meantime.

These guys are pretty flexible, Buckeye. My request for WW1 German guns with WW2 Japanese crews didn't phaze them at all.  ;)

Leon - Sounds great (the ability to special order them now).  How does one go about that?  Should I just order a pack of the smoothbores and then note that I want the Prussian Krupps with the Hanoverian crews?

German guns with Japanese crews?   :D

Leon

Yep, if you order the code for the guns you want, and then just pop us a quick email through about which crews you'd like them with.

Yeah, for conversion to Japanese Type 38 - not as difficult as you would think in small numbers.  :)
