At first I thought it might be better to do it all abstractly - not having any models (as they wouldn't be on the table proper) - but it might be fun to have SOME Canadian guns lined up on a table behind the Canadian lines and some German guns set up on another table behind the Germans lines - every turn the Canadian guns get a crack at taking out German batteries...?timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-83020998454113327062016-05-17T10:48:52.653-07:002016-05-17T10:48:52.653-07:00What about 1 gun model per Brigade?

At that rate you could perhaps add some howitzers. <br /><br />( and yes my maternal grandfather was a gunner but with the RHA.)Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-4123264261900439672016-05-17T07:58:57.220-07:002016-05-17T07:58:57.220-07:00Oh, for sure.

I'm even still thinking I might pick up at least one gun and crew from each of the manufacturers represented in the collection. I'm just not sure there's much need for them in my two upcoming projects and I'm realizing it would be ludicrous to try and represent ALL of the batteries in the Canadian Corps. I will likely find use for them when I get to playing games of the 1918 German Offensive - I'm sure there would have been guns that were caught off guard and didn't pull out in time before being overrun by German stormtroopers!<br /><br />thanks!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-77917372647085276032016-05-17T07:54:21.998-07:002016-05-17T07:54:21.998-07:00Merci Phil!Merci Phil!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-54143070845202130992016-05-17T05:41:38.141-07:002016-05-17T05:41:38.141-07:00Absolutly superb!!Absolutly superb!!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-77685258587117961722016-05-17T04:08:53.576-07:002016-05-17T04:08:53.576-07:00The guns look great and I would not worry about th...The guns look great and I would not worry about the INTENDED use in war. <br /><br />If you've put time and money into making them looking this good, you might as well use it. Surely there were times where guns just so happened to appear on the frontline (a stopped advance of friendlies or perhaps a strong push of the adversaries?). <br /><br />Some field guns (at least in Austrian army) would still carry grape shots to defend themselves from a close assault.<br /><br />All sorts of anomalies happened in the war, so there is no reason why you could not use them and still be reasonably close to reality!Mathyoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11254075235438097742noreply@blogger.com
