Sort of a confusing title, but these are the two Old Glory guns which are only listed as "Mexican Guns" in their Pershing in Mexico range. They looked similar to the Tsuba Putilov guns, so figured I'd give them a shot.
The image below shows how much larger they are from the Tsuba Putilov guns.
A couple of my local gaming buddies suggested the Old Glory guns might be French 75mm QF field guns. They'll be part of the Russian batteries nonetheless.
Also started on some Old Glory Meiji IJA infantry (from the Boxer Rebellion range). Also added a few command figures from Crusader Miniatures.
The Crusader guys a larger being 28mm, and the Old Glory on the larger side of 25mm. Pictured below, left to right: OG, Crusader, OG, Crusader, OG, Crusader, and Crusader.
Also worked on some flags downloaded from the "1866 And All That" blog. Made a feeble attempt at adding Kanji characters to them.
Oh, and I cancelled out of the Saga game for tomorrow as we have some last minute stuff to do prior to the Christmas weekend. Until next time, wishing you all a Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Dean!

DeleteGuns and crew are fab, Dean. No doubt that these are Old Glory figures. I am surprised that Crusader are that much bigger.
