I noticed for the Napoleonics that K & C did an excellent job on the Royal Horse Artillery figures. I think a full gun carriage in action pose would be awesome looking.
 
What do you mean by "a full gun carriage in action poses" ?

If its a 6 horse team, limber and gun, with 3 mounted drivers and 2 gunners riding the limber, I'd say the reply from K&C would be "NO WAY"

The reason would be the cost to buy it.

Going on the current price for K&C mounted figures being $110, riderless horses being $60 and individual figures $45 that's $630 !!!

Still why not ask?

You never know ...... ^&confuse

Ok then Andy ... will settle for another 6 pounder with new RHA gun crew in action. That would give me a battery of 4 guns {sm4}.

I just like the idea of a full carriage rushing into a position. I see how the cost could put K & C off from doing it, but if it has the potential to be a center piece for a napoleonics collection I wouldn't mind spending the money. Sure it is a lot in a single purchase, but buying pieces for a dio (mounted or individual) is pricey as well. I just think such a set would look good in a dio or by itself on a bookshelf.
 
To make it affordable, the set could be sold in stages. Two horse at a time and then the carriage.

Or, here is a compromise:
A stationary limber (no horses needed, but two could be standing) with an open lid and attendants bringing up ammunition. Then there could be a few figures bring a gun into action, kind of like the one WBritain did. As a reenactor, I can say that a lot of time is spend manhandling the gun- though this is mostly done with two bricoles (dragropes) and a gunner on the tiller.

I fully agree something like this is needed for the range and should be marketed in stages for affordability. K&C recently did this with their new 25pdr artillery and tractor for WWII so why not for us Napoleonic collectors? :confused:

Maybe sell each horse set and rider separately and then the limber/cannon and then the figures? I am trying to think of a way it can be done without having to spend X-amount of dollars on a wagon or set that cannot fully be used until the full set is complete.

Maybe you'd like something like what Frontline has produced?
