They didn't do bad at all - if anything they really intimidated the British advance.

The most heavier guns here were 8lbs.<br />Good wargaming!<br />RafaRafael Pardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482026140017463557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-15545928309950242802010-05-01T09:51:39.041-07:002010-05-01T09:51:39.041-07:00Thank you all for the positive feedback on the art...Thank you all for the positive feedback on the arty colors - they're good as is.

The 12 pdrs were usually divisional artillery - as guns at the brigade level were 8 pdr or lighter calibers. The 12s were used by the Guard as you suggest but not all that common in Spain due one would imagine due to the logistics of maintaining them in that theatre. <br /><br />I agree with the others that the colour on them looks pretty right - I've seen some slightly darker olive green but most about that shade. The only other thing is that the barrels were usually blackened on service. <br /><br />A fine battery sir and one that no doubt will inflict some damage on the enemy!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-81828630494805526882010-04-30T19:37:43.600-07:002010-04-30T19:37:43.600-07:00Personally I think the colour you have used on the...Personally I think the colour you have used on the guns is perfect.

I think mine are missing the end caps for the wheels, but are just fine for the gaming table.
