"PERRY ACW Artillery for FPW ecc..." Topic

Hello
ACW is not my cup of tea and my knowledge of the equipment used by the related armies is very poor…but i think that, maybe, those just issued plastic guns could equip my FPW French Artillery and maybe also my favourite Risorgimento armies (kingdom of Two Sicilies, Papal States and Piedmont)…i remenber to have read somewhere that ACW guns where exported or license made European/French Artillery pieces…..what do you think?

They are close to the French that I think you could make them work. There are some differences in the kepi , but you could paint the lace on. Here is a link to the wargames foundry French artillery they sell. Some very nice close up photos.

I hope this helps.

I'm having the same idea. At least the guns can be used for many conflicts of the time like the Paraguayan War.

Thanks 45thdiv but my concern was principally about the use of guns..i imagine that generic/universal ACW crews could, in any case, result very useful with other armies..as gun crews, engineers, spare men ecc…but with artillery, in many periods, i have problems in identifying…
thanks again

Not to mention the potential for use in Maximillian Adventure! I have done this using Foundry minis

The limber and the 12lb napoleon will work just fine from this kit.

A flattened dab of Green Stuff can turn the CW forage caps into Mexican War forage caps. Unfortunately, of the four barrels offered, only the 12pdr howitzer was used in Mexico. A 6pdr barrel would have been really nice. Gun carriages, limbers and horse harness would all be OK.
