I ordered these guns from Brigade games, and they arrived shortly before Christmas.
They are for use in my Fortress for Vauban's Warts.
They are 28mm 12 pounder Naval guns.
I debated getting the 18 pounders, and probably should have, but these should do the job.
I also took advantage of the holidays to paint up the additional 4 pieces of 6" earthworks that I, well, unearthed, preparing for the last game.
I believe these were carried by Old Glory.
They are done similar to but not exactly the same as the other set of 4. They will see the table in the final Vauban's Wars play test.
A very happy, prosperous, and healthy New Year to all of you!

Great looking guns! Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteI received a Gift Certificate for Brigade Games at Christmas. I need to start browsing...
You've seen the Brigade Games 28 mm Spanish figures here on the blog before. Other items in this last order were French Naval officers, Cantinieres, Fifer and Drum Major, and some Republican looking Generals and ADC's for my Early French in Bicorne Brigades. Also some Brigade Games and Coplestone figures for a small future Afrika/Congo type project.
DeleteAll very tempting choices! I have a few odds and ends to pick up to finish a couple of Hicks' French battalions but the Spanish look very tempting. I still have several battalions of Spanish to paint from your great sales' pitch a couple of years ago. Maybe 2020 will see Spanish in 28mm for my Peninsular War project?
DeleteI really enjoyed doing my own Spanish Army, and the Hicks sculpts are excellent. Eventually I plan to add another two infantry units and a couple more stands of Grenadiers, and some Cazadores a Caballo... when someone makes a suitable figure for them!
DeleteSuch a gorgeous way to begin the year! Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phil. Kind of like Fireworks! :-)
DeleteHappy New year to you as well!
Nice big guns! Vauban's Warts - love it - the spellchecker wins in the end.
ReplyDeleteLOL! "It's a beauty mark, Milord..."
DeleteThey look as though they will work perfectly. Nice heavy-looking artillery pieces. All the best for 2020 Peter.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lawrence, and best wishes for 2020 to you, too!
DeleteNice looking guns..I look forward to seeing/reading more about your Vauban project.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith. I just set up the table for a final solo playtest of VW this weekend.
DeleteVery nice dont fancy trying to take Vauban defences lined by those !!
ReplyDeleteShould probably be a couple of dozen of them for the full effect!
DeleteGood looking guns! 18lb would have been better, but these will work. I'll be working on my PaperTerrain fortress this weekend while you are play testing. Call me if you have any serious questions about the rules while you are testing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Eric. I may yet pick up some 18 lbers if I do another order from Brigade games.
