Black Powder: French - Napoleonic French Line Artillery Limber

Napoleonic French Line Artillery Limber

To Napoleon, artillery was his most favoured arm. He was famously trained as an artilleryman and truly understood the science and psychological effects of well-maintained cannon fire. He built up his artillery park to an enormous size and arguably had the best cannoneers in Europe.

Artillery is of course only of use if it arrives on the battlefield in good order and well supplied with fresh gunners, shot and shell. France was one of the first nations to have a well-ordered professional train of artillery – men wholly dedicated to their tough, boring job. Technically non-combatants, they often braved shot and shell or even close encounters to ensure that their beloved guns were well placed and supplied, or if in danger, retired smartly to the rear.

The artillery train frequently got the pick of the large horses available, and as if there was any doubt, the Imperial Guard certainly managed to find the best, strongest and smartest horses in the army, to the chagrin no doubt of the heavy cavalry. Guard horses wherever possible were black in colour.

Contains one four-horse limber with French line artillery riders, in Warlord Resin Plus^TM.
