The gunners were attached to the infantry unit for the duration and not part of the artillery park like the 6 and 12 pounder crews.<BR/>Check out http:.org//www.1va/ for photos of my unit's reproduction 3 pdr. in actionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991076225884911243.post-84627000965361561072007-06-01T13:15:00.000+00:002007-06-01T13:15:00.000+00:00Thanks for the kind comments, chaps.Stokes, I don'...Thanks for the kind comments, chaps.<BR/><BR/>Stokes, I don't really think of batteries as such; I am just guided by what the scenarios say. Most scenarios I have seen group guns in twos and threes, so I assume that's what a "battery" usually is, although sometimes a brigade with have just one 3-pounder attached to it. In the later, Southern battles I have noticed that artillery is much more rare; 1 or 2 guns on each side seems the norm.<BR/><BR/>GilesGileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431052344684945450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991076225884911243.post-48543630409711222012007-05-29T14:14:00.000+00:002007-05-29T14:14:00.000+00:00Very nicely done!Very nicely done!AJ (Allan) Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14487872439441907245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991076225884911243.post-42390171429716141152007-05-29T13:57:00.000+00:002007-05-29T13:57:00.000+00:00Hello Giles,I really like those uniforms -- which ...Hello Giles,<BR/><BR/>I really like those uniforms -- which I've never seen before and did not know about. Very interesting. Does each gun represent a seperate battery, or do the two go together in a single unit?<BR/><BR/>Best Regards,<BR/><BR/>Stokes SchwartzWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.com
