Pleased to see that you have the crew correctly positioned. Note the rammer is wood. There seems to be a metalic gleem on the end but could the photograph and light. The ammunition number should be carrying a satchel over his shoulder for 3-4 rounds of ammunition. |

My crews are all correctly positioned nowadays thanks to input from Dr Summerfield (many thanks) but I haven't altered all the ones I'd alreaday got wrong (they are hard to get off the bases)- does this make me a slacker? |

@Green Tiger: No, it makes you a realist. |

Dear Green Tiger
The gunners represent reality so as long as you have the correct number of figures it does not matter.

because most manufacturers do not provide much variety in artilly crew (ie 4 firing pose, 4 loading), if they all stand in their "drill" positions it can look a tad fake. So I mix them up a bit to improve the "theatre" of it all. |

Pleased to see that you have the crew correctly positioned. Stephen, I find it interesting that there is a change between the Napoleonic and the American Civil War. As a re-enactor of the latter on a gun crew the man covering the vent was position on the right hand side of the carriage facing forward, whilst the man with the lanyard/portefire would be positioned on the left. In other words the reverse of the way shown. Anders, Nicely done so far.
