The Italians sought help for their French and British allies in their campaigns against the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Heavy artillery units were made particularly welcome. Here we see a British heavy howitzer preparing to support the coming assault. Rather ominously the crew are wearing gas masks.....
Blimey! You've out big-gunned me! :D

ReplyDeleteMe too! But luckily one os never too old for such things.
Nice looking set. I have 2 of those guns - as you know after the incident where the howitzer nearly destryoed the headquarters building Anthony and I were attempting to capture from Bob and yourself...
ReplyDeleteThey really aren't that accurate!

ReplyDeleteGiven that I’ll be doing all the gunnery in the coming game (with a Britains 25pdr) I wouldn’t rule out similar incidents!
Those Britains guns are fantastic. I was fortunate to get to play with some of my Dad's former toys as a kid. He had the naval gun, but not this howitzer.
ReplyDeleteIt is gonna look great on the tabletop!

More guns!

ReplyDeleteBig guns like this are great for intimidating the enemy players in face to face games.
