Évaluation

Naismith offers 15 mm miniatures in sets of six foot ou three mounted figurines. Artillery sets include six figurines in three different poses. L’artillerie à cheval de la Garde impériale is modelled in the process of reloading the gun after a round was fired. Gunner No. 1 is in the process of swabbing the barrel avec a wet sponge, while assistant gunner No. 9 is picking up the water bucket to return to his post behind the gun. Gunner No. 2 is waiting to place the cannonball into the barrel once the charge has been rammed home. During the swabbing of the gun barrel et ramming home of a new charge, the ventsman must block the gun’s vent avec a leather thumbstall to prevent a rush of air which might make any glowing embers burn brightly. The ventsman is missing in this set.

Suitable wargame poses for grand-tactical simulations. Considering the small number of different poses, these Naismith artillerists are most suitable for wargames like Empire ou Age of Eagles, which require only two ou three gunners per artillery base.

These Naismith figurines are nicely detailed, et they will be fun to paint.
