A lot of bang for your bucks!

 

[Artillery_crazy]

Sorry guys, But I need to correct you here....
Just absurd what you have said....There is no way that a projectile could way 18 tonnes!!....Also, these Morsers had a maximum range of 6580 meters firing HE and 4320 m firing concrete shells. The weight of each shell was 1700 kgs firing HE and 2180 kgs firing Concrete shells. Once the barrels of the initial 6 guns were worn down ( due to firing ) they were rechambered to 54cm L/13 and these could fire a heavy concrete shell of 1580kgs up to 10.5 kilometers.
Cheers

It is my problem with any artillery model in the Toy Soldier World, insufficient personnel. I understand the economic limitations, but a crew of three for such a piece just does not look right. It took 18 gunners for a Moerser and 21 in all (Gun Commander, Driver, Assistant Driver, 18 x Gunners). I wonder why it is acceptable to cut the crew short when it comes to artillery (all manufacturers do this), but unacceptable when it comes to tanks for example.

I fully agree, more Artillery crews are needed. I have E-mailed Brian requesting that he make Artillery crews available as individual figures or sets. TCS has made a number of excellent Artillery figures; but they are only sold with the Artillery pieces. K&C had a 5 man crew for their 10cm field gun. Figarti had add on sets for their Artillery pieces, which usually came with several figures. Hopefully Brian will follow up with additional crew figures for the Morsers.

From Wikipedia: The Heaviest shell weight was 2,170 kg (4,780 lb) Anything else was a lighter weight projectile.

Yes, I agree with you about the number of gunners to man guns.

The 2 makers that have satisfied the correct manning details are John Jenkins with his recent WW1 British guns where he has a full detachment of 10, and K&C with the WW2 British 25 Pounders. The packaging of the gunners as either single or double boxed makes it a more affordable for collectors to fit the purchases into their budget, or to only have a smaller gun crew to fit into display space.

Making a universal pose on a gunner is also an advantage so that he can be used on other guns in the same army, like John Jenkins with his 2 WW1 guns and even his AA gun.

Crew size aside, my compliments to Collector's Showcase on a fine piece.

 

[zulucollector]

I like they are basically putting shock and awe back into the space after Figarti demise.

 

[Poppo]

Great release!!!!!! I would use it for a dio about the siege of Sebastopol , 1942 {sm3}{sm3}{sm3}

 

[Mark IV]

Would be nice to see TCS release a Morser Loader and additional crew and with accessory pack of munitions to go with the Karl Morser

I am looking at both of these monster's again, as they become more and more appealing every time I look. :salute::

Has anyone received their Karl Morser yet?

{sm2}

Sure have, just the Grey one. Just had to attach the side rails and drop in the gun and loading tray and she is ready to go. Have a dio planned for it soon using my Figarti associated figures. Very happy with it, very similar to my Figarti Karl which I treasure. Robin.

 

[Mark IV]

Picked mine up yesterday just having a little trouble getting the railing to fit and crew staying in place but quite happy with the gun and fingers crossed TCS have additional accessories to go with it

Wayne - if you still thinking about getting this monster, don't wait. Got mine two weeks ago. Very impressive model - as everything Brian is doing.

 

[joesgis]

I wonder if anyone has found away to use any other figures to add to the crew. I think this beast would look better with more operators crawling around its mass....soldiers busy at work, scurrying around.

Figarti V1 and V2 crew maybe?

 

[joesgis]

Figarti V1 and V2 crew maybe?

sounds like a good idea

 

[katana]

I am sure that based on past performance Brian will produce additional gun crew figures.
