returns to Flintloque to paint an Ogre.
We now have available artillery for the Napoleonic Bavarians. NR has done fantastic work on the guns and the rest of the equipment, which will follow as you can see.
For a couple of the artillery codes, I've decided to put them in a mix of coatees and greatcoats. This is based on the most reliable artists of the period that show this mix, not only with the artillery, but, surprisingly often, with infantry and cavalry also. I've also put one of the crew (with the rammer) in a fatigue smock that covered the coatees, again taken from contemporary artwork. The crewman with his arm down the barrel of the howitzer is placing the charge on the 'shelf' at the breech of the barrel, as this was a smaller caliber (scary stuff!). He would wear a canvas sleeve over the arm of the coat, but this is hidden, down the barrel, in this position.
