Warlord Games: ECW Light Artillery

Hi, Here's another useful release from Warlord Games for their Pike and Shotte range, some light artillery! As you can see they have also supplied some new crewmembers which are a nice addition for their already existing artillery range. This particular pieces retails for £12.00 and is now available throughout Warlord Games and the larger retailler.

"Light cannon were by far the most numerous of the artillery on the 17th century battlefield. The sakers and culverins may make a huge noise and scare away green troops just by the sound of their discharge, but the real killing was most often done close up, with small but heavy iron balls or hail shot (an early form of grape shot) or canister.The big guns were immobile once emplaced on the field, assuming, because of their bulk, that they even arrived in the first place! These lighter guns needed horses to take them on the poor road systems, but once on the field of battle, could be moved around by sweating gunners, mattrosses and attached labourers to give their firepower to where their general needed it most."
