Do you want your ashigaru armed with tanegashima in shooting poses, advancing poses (tanegashima held at the ready in both hands), or "March Attack" poses (tanegashima on shoulder)? |

Shooting! Always shooting! |

Both reloading and shooting, each in a separate pack! |

I'll cast my vote for shooting and reloading. |

All of the above! Shooting, reloading, at the ready, *and* on the march. (Uh-oh, Khurasan is after more of my $$ again!) Don't forget that ashigaru units called teppo-tai were actually mixed formations of firearms and bows in a 3:2 or 4:3 ratio. It was the samurai teppo-tai that were purely armed with firearms. |

Actually if you want me to make all of the above, it's you who are after my $$…. :-) Because each additional style of representation costs more to produce. A lot more. Hence the question. |

I like two styles: if possible, either mix standing/kneeling or shooting/reloading. Otherwise, all marching. |
| Lion in the Stars | 03 Feb 2015 1:51 p.m. PST |
While I know that the Teppo-tai didn't necessarily shoot much, I think I'd prefer shooting and reloading poses over ready or march attack. |
| khurasanminiatures | 03 Feb 2015 2:29 p.m. PST |
That seems to be the consensus. |

I'm a 28mm player, but I prefer shooting and marching. |
| khurasanminiatures | 07 Feb 2015 1:33 p.m. PST |
Hmmm, if I were to do two sets, I think it would be advancing and shooting. You can actually mix those together in a unit. You couldn't with marching and advancing though. |
| cwlinsj | 08 Feb 2015 12:53 a.m. PST |
Sure you could! Front row advancing with ported arms, and following rows marching with guns on shoulders. |

I think he meant in a firing line – advancing poses can look like someone either cocking the weapon and/or bringing it up preparatory to firing, or bringing it down and getting ready to re-load after firing. The feet positions don't look out of place either. |

Shooting, loading, and fighting in melee with muskets. -It could happen! |

As a general thing, I prefer missile troops in shooting poses. |
| Bowman | 25 Feb 2015 2:34 p.m. PST |
….I think I'd prefer shooting and reloading poses over ready or march attack. I'm with Lion on this. I'd like a firing line, so shooting in the front ranks and reloading rifles in the back ranks. |
