Does anyone know of a manufacturer of WW1 Belgian arty in 28mm? Or other support weapons? I can find HMG's, but no mortars etc.. Thanks in advance! |

What period of the war are you interested in? Your mention of mortars suggests later in the war. Robert |

At the start of the war I thought the Belgians were mostly using Krupps and later used French equipment Have a look at this link on Landships link |

I have the figs to be kind of 1914-1915 era. My comments on mortars was based on ignorance! didnt know they werent around then Thanks for that link. So you'd suggest head swaps? |

The Belgian guns were Krupps 75mm in 1914. Woodbine do a lovely version in their Ottoman range. The bigger problem is the gunners. The uniform and types of headgear were pretty distinctive. Early war French are probably the best bet. MGs you have sorted by the sounds. No mortars I'm afraid. Your other support weapon will be the Minerva armoured car. There are some nice examples around.
