After playing quite a few games of For King & Parliament, I realised that I could really do with a couple of bases to represent limbered, and therefore still capable of moving, artillery bases.

For my 19thC and WW2 armies, I don’t usually bother with anything fancy: just a limber and team that I can place behind the deployed gun model, but the way that I have based my ECW troops in elements required a little more…especially as limbered guns are long as opposed to wide.

As you can see from the picture, above, I decided to use my special Warbases double-deep vehicle bases and create mini vignettes: each of the two artillery pieces that will deploy supported by a couple of ammo wagons.

The guns, ammo wagons, carters and teams all came from the Hallmark range via Magister Militum, with a few spare Peter Pig artillerymen scattered around the base to dress it up a bit. The command figures are from Hallmark as well.
