All the recent interest in ACW has made me drag out my unpainted hordes, mostly old Wargames Foundry and a few Redoubt. I need to purchase some guns, who do you think does the best 28mm ACW artillery? |

I like Foundry but I have some Old Glory that are OK and cheaper. Perry Miniatures has a gun with 2 barrel varieties and the site now shows their ACW offerings. I would check that out since they sculpted the Foundry ACW guns. The Perry's gun comes with crew. |

I haven't seen it in person yet, but just from the pictures I would give the nod to the Perry guns. picture link |

I don't like their figures, but Old Glory's guns are great. I'd buy them. |

Dixon guns are nice clean casting with little or no flash. PLus they have a very complete range. They are a little pricy as compared to Old Glory, but they're my first choice. |

Redoubt are really good stuff. I mix them with Foundry and Old Glory |

link I like Sash and Sabers stuff. |

Firing Line used to make the best. Redoubt have some unusually large wheels (thick). Dixon are way undersize. OG has the best deal for the money. I have to agree with Pictors about the Perry guns. |

I have Sash and Saber and Redoubt. Redoubt are nicely detailed, but very chunky and quite big. |

Like their figures (which I love, by the way)! |

Firing Line are still available here imn the UK from Bicorne Miniatures, anybody know what they are comparable with sizewise? I have some Dixon I use for Maxmillian Mexico but do feel they are too small. |

I have Foundry, which I like – a bit dated, but they work well – I like the look of the new Perrys |

andysyk, I would put them against Sash&Saber. The wheels might be slightly higher, which I think is good. And you get all the accessories as well. |

I think Firing Line is the best and they had a full line of unusual guy types! They fit with Old Glory, Redoubt and Foundry. I do not like Sash and Saber. The guns don't fit well on the carriages and they are missing the straps that hold them in place. |
