Fantastic work. Great visualization.

Nice work. T'was a silly film but it was one of those entertainments that got me into the period. C S Forester's book was much better.

I agree with you wholeheartedly Artilleryman! Worst historical movie ever! Great book. Maybe one day someone will make a better film of the book; The Gun, by C.S. Forester. It's only an 18 pdr. for heaven's sake; not the Great Gun of Kiev!!!!!!!!!

The handles on the roundshot seemed a great idea; why didn't that catch on?

Spontoon, if you want bad, you should watch Clive of India….

The gun may have been an 18pdr in the novel, but in reality it was a 12pdr (the book is based on some true events but pimped up a bit).
