I am looking to finish my 15mm Ottoman army for Field of Glory Renaissance and require medium guns and heavy guns together with limbers. Anyone have any recommendations for what guns to use for medium and heavy? Anything in the Essex (no photos on the website unfortuantely) or Donnington range would be good. Also, I want a limber for each gun and that would fit with 2 horses abrest on a 40 x 40mm base. Essex appear to offer one RXE25 but has horses in tandem and hence would be too long. Any folks that have links to pics of their artillery would be helpful. |

Neither do teams and limbers but both Legio Heroica and Khurasan do nice Ottoman ranges with artillery – they also both have some comparison figures which seem to match well with Essex |

Donnington have two Ottoman ranges in the 'Originals' and each has a different field gun. There are others which are emplaced wheel-less bombards. They do harnessed horses. They also have limbers in various ranges like the ECW which would probably not offend but see the paper below. Venexia – now at Lancashire Games – have a heavy and a light gun which are nice. No horse teams though. You might want to consider oxen instead. This paper PDF link says that oxen and buffalo were often used to draw artillery and "moreover, wagons transported guns as late as 1738".
