Welcome :-h

As mentioned in another thread an email to the nice Mr Leon will get that sorted for you

I have found Pendraken to be unfailingly helpful when it comes to ordering odds and ends ;)

No worries, extra officers, musicians, limbers, etc are not a problem, just pop us an email with a list of what you need and we'll get those sorted out.

Limbers for battalion guns are a little awkward for the Prussians as they used different limbers for their field guns. The Prussian field limbers are simply the A frame, whereas the battalion gun limbers  featured an ammo chest - similar to the limber which Pendraken supplies the Austrian artillery with. This is because Prussian field artillery had its ammo carried by separate wagons. Therefore if you want limbers for Prussian battalion guns use the Austrian limber. I am assuming you are going to be modelling the battalions at a fairly large scale to justify including the limbers. I use the rules 'Honours of War' and include the gun in one of the battalion stands.

Wot?

Oh.

Hello Elainepat. Welcome to the forum. Sorry, I've been a bit distracted.

What kind of limber did Bttn guns have? One horse? Not my period, I'm afraid, but as has been noted, there are lots of very clever and knowledgeable people around here. Sickeningly good with a paint brush too.

This whole forum is like a system for keeping tabs on odd-balls in society. Cheaper than tagging.

As he is the artist formally known as Dour Puritan (and not formerly), he's therefore still known as Dour Puritan (as well as Leman).    :P
