SYW libers needed

[maciek]

Could anybody provide me with photos of following SYW packs:

Austrian SYA34  7lb Howitzer, limber, horses and crew (1)
Prusian SYP31  7lb Howitzer, limber, horses and crew (1)
British SYB27  5.5" Howitzer, limber, horses and crew (1)
French SYF22  5.5" Howitzer, limber, horses and crew (1)

And, generally - how do the British and French SYW limbers look like ?

Sorry about that Maciek. It appears Photobucket were updating their site. I've checked my photos and unfortunately none of them feature the limbers. Anyway, the Austrian limbers are four horse with a limber box. The Prussian limbers are also four horse but the limber is an open frame affair with no box. There are no limber riders, however the figure with the match can also be used as a horse leader. The howitzers are standard carriages with very short barrelled guns to mount on them. Limbers and crew are the same as standard guns. Most crew are depicted bare headed and only wearing their waistcoats.

The Howitzer is the same model used in the AWI range, I'll see if I can dig up some pics of that.

EDIT:  This looks like them: http://turbilminiatures.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/10mm-british-american-war-of.html



There's a couple of pics here with the limbers hiding in the background: http://www.madbeardman.com/2012/09/22/preparing-for-battle-seven-years-war-french-part-3-the-army-is-ready/

Thanks for the photos.
Does it mean that all French and British limbers are double-shafted - as shown on the picture ?

Yep, and the Prussian / Austrians are single shaft.
