Title: Tents for 30YW
Post by: gregernest on 11 February 2015, 02:28:21 PM
Got anything suitable?  Maybe Renaissance era?

I did a search of the web store and saw some nice ones, but I'm at loss as for what comes closest.

What about Imperial Roman, too?

Do you want boss man tents or hoi palloi tents. If the latter there are some nice ones in the WWII section.

Although I suppose the bigger one could be used for the boss.

Could you not make your own from air dried clay or something similar?

I would think it would be a pretty basic shape

OK.  I cannot find the long piece at the right of the photo.  It looks like a barricade or a stack of chests or something.

Street barricade in German WWII section.

OK, another question.

What would be good for heavy artillery in this period?  I've already got both guns from the ECW range...

The SYW 12pdr is feckin massive and has quite an ornamental barrel so it may pass muster in the TYW.

Those look neat!  Nice job!

They do appear to be close to the ones I got (in size).  Not sure how big they need to be...   :-\

Probably the largest piece used in the field was the culverin - a 17 - 20 pounder gun, mainly used as a siege-piece. The demi-culverin, a 10 pounder, would probably be the biggest gun used with the field army. Your SYW 12 pounder would therefore be perfectly suitable for the Thirty Years War. I use them as WSS guns.

Didn't SYW Prussian artillery use blue carriages?

Yes, SYA27 is the gun illustrated.

That'll be Napoleon Moxqotql then; or am I thinking of the Duke of Wexqitoql?

Latest order isn't even here yet and I'm looking ahead.

Would EC23 work for Heavy Artillery in 30YW?  I don't see a pic, so I am not sure.

Should have pics soon.  8)
