We're very pleased to have expanded our 15mm Manchu Chinese range with a field gun and three crewmen. The Manchu were in many ways behind the times in technology, fielding large formations of archers long after Western nations had gone over completely to the musket, but they did adopt some firepower technology, such as the field gun. Pieces like these were used by the Manchu (Qing) Dynasty armies from its foundation in the seventeenth century (when China was still quite powerful and could successfully challenge Russia on the battlefield, for instance) until as late as the Boxer Rebellion. They usually included typical cannon barrels and carriages but the wheels were quite distinctive as represented on this model. Available now, at the link below. link

Opium Wars? Taiping Rebellion? Boxers?

I game the Taiping Rebellion and that would definitely fit in that period. If I didn't already have enough artillery, I'd be tempted to buy that set, great sculpting!

So nice but not a period I currently game. If my gaming changes expect an order.

Exceptionally fine craftsmanship evident here. You deserve every success with these! TVAG

Brilliant! This now allows for a fully rounded Qing Dynasty army covering everything from the campaigns against the nomads to the Boxer Rebellion. Further, one can now field a Chinese themed fantasy human army in 15mm (just add a dragon, a wizard, and some heroes). Nice! Leland R. Erickson Metal Express metal-express.net
