I'm finally beginning to flesh out my 1/285 Flames of War armies. Til now artillery was just a gun on a plain base (I acquired most of mine second hand). So now I'm adding crews, flocking, prime movers. On one hand I want the prime mover left on the table when the gun is deployed. On the other it's much more convenient for the limbered gun to be attached to the PM on a single base. Alternatively, I could just buy a ton of extra PMs to add to the deployed guns. What to do, what to do… |

In FOW the tractor is removed when the gun unlimbers so you could have either separate guns and tractors or separate deployed guns and tractor + towed guns. |

I usually just base 6mm tows with the Gun but facing backwards. Limbered have the tow facing forwards, unlimbered, just swing it round. It gets dull very, very quickly having two sets of models for each gun (lumbered and deployed). Been there, done that. |

I would agree with Martin. It is the best solution for small scales and very practical too. |

Yep, gun facing reverse directions = limbered. 😊 |
