Artillery Reinforcements Complete

The guns and limbers are finished and all ready for action. This brings the total of French guns up to eight which is surely enough even for Napoleon. The Duke increases his artillery park to a respectable four pieces.

A bit of an unusual sight but today the British and French artillery are parading together.

Ramsay's Battery. It's hard for me to believe but I painted Mercer's Battery back in 2009!

The figures used are:

1 x BN.24 Gunner (ramming home)

1 x BN.23 Gunner (positioned for manning gun)

1 x BN.24a Gunner (holding hand spike)

1 x BN.25 Officer (holding spy-glass and pointing)

1 x A.2 Field Gun - with modified wheels

This is the fourth French Foot Battery for the collection. The officer had lost his shako plume so I have reconstructed it.

The figures used are:

1 x FN/32 Gunner (holding cannon ball)

1 x FN/34 Gunner (positioned for manning gun)

1 x FN/30 Officer (pointing)

1 x FN/33 Gunner (ramming home)

1 x A/3 Field Gun - with modified wheels

This addition means that both sides can field the right number of limbers for their Horse Batteries.

The figures used are:

1 x BN.28 R.H.A. Driver (positioned for riding on gun horse H/1)

1 x H/1 Nearside draught horse

1 x H/2 Offside draught horse

1 x AL.2 Gun Limber (British)

1 x A.2 British Field Gun

1 x FN/36 Driver, Line Artillery Drivers Corps (positioned for riding H/3)

1 x H/3 French Gun Horse (near side horse)

1 x H/4 French Gun Horse (off side horse)

1 x French Limber by Newline Designs

1 x A/3 French Field Gun

All the figures used are vintage Hinton Hunt castings (with the exception of the Newline Designs French limber).

Next up, you guessed it - more French line infantry.
