Somme day I'll find you - part 2

Or as our comrade in blogs Conrad Kinch would have it - 'The Puns of August.'

Phase to of the game saw the massive British artillery bombardment, with a gun line of ten gun models each firing 5 rounds.

You may remember me buying this pair of Cresent guns with crews at the Birmingham Toy Soldier Show last year.  I picked up the battered but worthy limber very cheaply.

 I provided six 18-pounders.

 At the other end of the line there was a seventh 18pdr and three(!) of these huge Britains howitzers.

The wicked Germans engaged in some counter-battery fire with their three batteries.  This is an Emhar 77mm

 This monster is a metal model intended for use with 28mm figures.

  A Marklin tinplate gun dating from before WW2.

An the results of all this furious fire?  One of the British howitzers was blown up but we're confident that all the German wire has been broken and that all their front-line troops are dead.  Oh yes.
