I'm glad you appreciated it. I must say, one told me that I've made a few mistakes : 1) The artillerist who fires the cannon must always turn his back to his target.
2) It's "Wurst" and not "Wurtz". Wurst means sausage in German. Apparently, artillerists rode that kind of sausage which covers the carriage when the cannon was transported. |

I always liked the Austrian artillery with their Zweispitz. Nice base too. |

No, every gunner of the Napoleonic era should turn his back to the target when firing. Here's an example of the correct position:
