I was hopping more about those gunners. Nobody showing the wick pointing the hole. Or standing firm waiting the shot. Or carrying the cannon balls. The officer looks more for Infantry…etc
But it's only my opinion.

What do you think?

Not wildly novel.

They are either firing their gun or moving it. The latter are better, but I see no officer here. He would have at least one fringed epaulette and a waist sash (crimson)

Only one figure comes with any crossbelts, cartridge pouch, water bottle etc, which will suit some wargamers as easier to finish. I can well imagine such kit being laid aside at the first opportunity, if little prospect of movement!

I know what you are saying, Tango. But they are trying to do something a little different with the basic artillery crew and that could be a good thing?

Could be my friend, could be.
I would buyed them anyform.

But I like artillery with officers and NCO.

I like carbine's point. What else can you do for novelty in 28mm? Strip down to shirtsleeves?…done already.

Loading, using that rammer/sponge is the obvious other pose.
