At some stage could you do some Napoleonic Austrian (1809) horse artillery limbers? I understand the Austrian horse artillery had a special sit-on caisson which the gunners would perch on when manoeuvring about the battlefield.

These were originally requested when the 1809 range was put together - they should exist, just not in production.

I'd not we need these wurst style limbers for Austria and Bavaria - so alternate packs with different crew/riders.

Nonsense sir! They're better than those Spanish ox-drawn ones.

If the masters were made perhaps Leon's new policy of getting out already mastered stuff might see the wurst see the light of day?

There is, of course, the modern navalised version.
Though to be fair, this group from the Royal Marine Light Horse Artillery seem to be having more fun than their Austrian predecessors.

A salvo from a French grand battery would wipe the smile off their faces.
