I'm putting together two 6mm AWI armies and thought I had everything pretty well rounded out.

But when I was looking at the Baccus Polemos Ruse de Guerre rules it specifies that each gun in the game should have an accompanying limber to represent the full footprint of the battery.

Baccus is a curious site because they do indeed sell limbers for their Napoleonic and Civil War artillery. But unless I missed it I didn't see any listing for AWI artillery limbers, nor did I see any in the SYW section of the catalog.

So what do you guys use for 6mm limbers? I suppose in that small a scale you could get the Civil War ones and then just use two of the four horses for each limber and get away with it pretty well visually.

I did a bit of online searching but I couldn't find any 6mm vendors that sell limbers by themselves and when I did find them they were for other time periods that for me were too obviously different visually.

Thanks in advance!

I believe these are the limbers Baccus recommends using:

Of course since none of the combatants had militarized drivers (they used civilian contractors) you probably wouldn't see the teams and limbers anywhere dangerous.
