Artillery-the Quartermasters Nightmare



In many battles of the 17th century, artillery was anything but standardized. 
Length of barrel, width of shot, type of shot, muzzle loading breach loading, amount of powder and even the type of power varied as greatly as the mirid of types and styles of cannons available. 
A look at the mixed guns in these English Civil War battery gives just a small example of what must have been a horrible nightmare for and field armies Quartermasters.
The mena are from Hinchcliffe they and all the artillery pieces are metal. I painted these in the early 1980's.
