As to their make ... well they are all from the Del Prado pre-painted range so I have no idea who made the original figures I am afraid.<br /><br />I suspect that when I finally get around to properly organising each of my armies that I am going to discover that I will need to acquire quite a few more cannons than I currently have. I may have to trawl through what is on offer on eBay to make up the numbers or even resort to casting my own using the Prinz August moulds that I have somewhere in my toy/wargames room.<br /><br />Please feel free to use my rules and to change them in whatever way that you wish. They are still a 'work-in-progress' and nothing as yet is set in stone.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-63839747197168224552016-08-07T00:51:26.822+01:002016-08-07T00:51:26.822+01:00The extra officers seem to be something new.

What make are they? <br /><br />In my own next posting, I'll be having a debate with myself whether to continue with my own single gun park, or your method. My problem is that I like your system (a lot) but don't want to spend much (any!) more money on cannon! <br /><br />Some ideas have occurred to me, but all of them involve difficult compromises... Meanwhile, I'll be more than happy to give your rule system a tryout, if that's OK with you. As you will have seen, that, except in the particular of cannon, my armies are easily adaptable to your system.
