Marlborough's Wars: Artillery Battery

Black Powder: Marlborough's Wars - Artillery battery

The effective use of artillery during this period was still in its infancy. Most guns were heavy and cumbersome and once deployed the gun would not normally move again during battle. Trained artillerymen were also scarce, with soldiers from the ranks often being drafted in to assist in moving or crewing the guns.

In this set, you'll find all the necessary parts to build three artillery pieces. This is a choice of barrels, allowing you to choose either eight-pound or twelve-pound options. Each cannon is manned by four crew members who have a variety of head and arm options that allow you to vary their appearance as much as you like. Due to their clothing and appearance, they can be used as generic artillery crews for most European nations during this period. Also included are spare barrels, buckets, and round shots to decorate your artillery bases and make your guns look as if they are in the heat of battle!

You will also find three mounted officers in the accompanying pack. These can be used as commanders to lead your artillery, or, if you wish, they can be detached as a colonel or brigade commander for your infantry or cavalry. Enough head and arm options are provided for any desired option.

Contains:
- 3 plastic artillery pieces (with a choice of 8-pound or 12-pound barrels)
- 12 plastic multi-part artillery crew.
- 3 mounted plastic officers.
- A selection of cannonballs, barrels, and buckets.
- Backdrop and construction brochure.
