Hello there
As far as I can see, there aren't any British horse artillery limbers available so what would be the best substitute from the 19th century list? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. cheers :)
Sadly I cant help with your query but I am sure there are people here who can, but welcome to the forum hope you enjoy yourself
I would go with Napoleonic, there were many huge advances in artillery other than the guns being rifled. At 10mm you'll get away with it.

Hello there :D
Hi Petefloro. Welcome to the forum.
What pictures are available on the net seem to show a standard box limber with a seat across the width for two or three gunners. Pretty well any Napoleonic or ACW limber would do the trick, I suspect. Your problem is more the horse-riders. They seem to have worn a very tall busby and a tight, frogged hussar jacket (very like the uniform worn today by the King's Troop.

What about ACW or maybe the egyptian 4 horse limber from the colonial range?
French Guard limber from 1870? :-\
FPW 39 - French Guard limber is the nearest fit - a paint job and nothing else I would think.
Thanks for all the suggestions every one. Very helpful.
I'm starting my next wargames project soon which will be the Crimean War in 10mm and I'm looking around to see what's available.
A belated welcome from me, as well, Peterfloro.
