Hello, here is a picture of the supply vehicle of the French army in 1858, probably the same were used in 1870. I would like to know what is the best match among the Pendraken miniatures.(http://smolensk.homelinux.org/projet1870/public/593736922ni4ivl-jpg.jpg)
I've just bought several of the wagons from various eras.
I think the German WWII wagon is probably a fairly good match - but it does have a driver's seat on the front.

Its hiding in this photo - I can try and get a better one later on - but due to its half-painted nature it may not be too clear.
The 7YW one is long and quite low, with a very flat cover.
The medieval ones are deep, almost V shaped, again with a fairly flat cover.
The ECW tumbrel cart, is wicker and open at the back, with no cover.
The other WWII German ones are small limbers, rather than Wagons.
Thank you, it's very close, I will go for it!
Do you happen to know the product code for the German wagon in the picture?
Pretty sure it is GR35
Fred is right, and if you go on to the Batreps, page 3, and look at the entries on the "Henry's photos of Gravelotte St Privat" you'll see piccies of just this wagon being used for exactly this purpose, but with four horses rather than two!

Oh boy! I need 80 for the Germans and 50 for the French, Leon will love me!
That's Dave's holiday fund topped up then! ;D :)
Wow! that is real dedication. I only have about thirty odd for everyone. If you are thinking of putting drivers up front the respective limber riders work well, but you'll need to bolster the bench with a bit of plastic card, as they are all rather long in the leg.

Thanks Mollinary, I was planning to do that or to let the wagon without driver but to put an artilleryman on horse instead of one of the two horses.
Now there is an idea!
Thanks LM, I might just nick that.
