Some artillery for the Patriot side now - a 6 lber and a 3 lber cannon with crew.
These well dressed fellows wear pretty much the regulation uniform for Continental artillery, set forth in October, 1779. How many men actually wore it may be debatable!
These are once again Perry figures.
The Continental army was probably not very particular about the color of it's artillery carriages, but red iron oxide (barn red) was probably the most common, as the paint was readily available. To distinguish them from the British using grey carriages, this color will be standard in my personal Patriot army!
