Title: ACW Cannon
Post by: Nosher on 03 October 2011, 08:00:11 PM
I came across an odd one tonight when looking at the ACW range. Every other ranges artillery appears to be £3.50 for three guns but the ACW range is the same price for two guns??

Typo or correct? Just checking as a friend has asked me to cost up, order and paint some ACW for his dad as a Xmas present

The numbers of guns depends on whether they come with limbers and horses or not.  Any packs which are just the guns and crews are normally 3 to a pack.  The ones with only a couple of limber horses are 2 to a pack, for example the Marlburian/ECW packs.  Then we have the single gun packs, which come with 4 horses per limber.

The ACW's are slightly odd, as they come with 4 horses per limber (1 of which is ridden), so would only be 1 to a pack in theory. 

The new range will most likely have separate limbers and rider's, in a similar fashion to the FPW ranges.

Cheers Leon.

I have often wondered why people bother with limbers etc. They remain on the table for very little time (if at all) and just seem a waste of time other than being asthetically pleasing.

Will the usual rule of thumb apply - can I bin the limbers and have an additional gun & crew?

Yeah, we should be able to do that for you.
