SYW Bits.

[YORSTONS]

I am sure these have been mentioned before, but we need some ammunition cassions for this period. And the fabled arqubsiers de grassin, most necessary for followers of the Grant style of gamming.

[Hertsblue]

I hate to rain on your parade, YORSTONS, but according to Pengel & Hurt the Arquebusiers de Grassin were incorporated into the Voluntaires de Flandres on 1st August 1749. So strictly speaking the unit never took part in the Seven Years War. 

[YORSTONS]

Thanks for that.
But they still wear pretty uniforms and fought for king louis, and if there good enought for messers Grant and Olley then i want them in my French army.

[Leon]

I've popped the caissons down, not sure how feasible the other suggestion would be though!

[YORSTONS]

Thanks Leon,
I am sure they will come in usefull for all your 18th century ranges.

I would like to see you offer a pack of 3 howitzers with crew for the major nations in the SYW. (Just pack the existing gunners with the howitzer- assuming you have separate molds for them all.) An easy new add for the line if you do! (A pain in the "rear" if you don't.) In any case, these would be very useful for many I would expect.  Thanks!

One more... Would really like to see some 2 wheeled carts as well. My battalions need resupply. The 4 wheeled wagons are way too large to accompany the troops to the front. I would use the larger wagons for resupplying the 2 wheel variety. Single horse/mules would be just fine. (Your limber horses are very well done, BTW!)

Which Howitzer are you looking for, we've got the 7lb ones available already with SYW crew?

I'll have to check on the carts of the period, as the Tumbrel cart from the ECW range may be fine to use?

[Bernie]

Yep the ECW tumbrel cart would do the trick and fill it with barrels, green stuff tarpaulins etc and have an escort figure to make pretty vignettes

[Leman]

I have also used the ECW tumbrels for SYW and they look fine. Also using 7lb howitzers in my armies, although the rules I use don't have specific howitzer elements.
