What have you guys heard?

George indicated that the new sets are sold out from JJ and now available only from dealers. Some poking around on the JJ site reveals a little info and then some guesses include:

1) Provincial Militia (in white uniform - pic on JJ),
2) couple of new indians swinging tomahawk and club (pic on JJ),
3) death of Montcalm (QF-01 per TM website),
4) defending british grenadiers (unpainted pic on JJ),
5) british sergeant (QB series),
6) death of braddock,
7) something to pull the brit artillery

Hopefully we will find out a lot more from the Chicago show.

... 7) something to pull the brit artillery

Now that's what we need. Four or six horses? It would be just lovely to have a limber.

Me too! But will the horse pulling the limber have a rider or did you mean another set?

All,

Fraser Light Infantry sets should be sent out to dealers and those who buy from John direct today or Tuesday.

There is a picture of an unpainted 18th Century British limber prototype on the JJ webpage. The file was too large to post here.

Does this help? A horse will be attached to the other end between the two poles.

That photo did look much like a limber - more like a half-limber

Ron,

I know it doesn't look much like a limber but back in the 17th and 18th centuries when most cannon had split trails, the limbers had a large spike on the cross member for the hole in the rear of the cannon carriage to hook onto. A bit like the French system of the Napoleonic Wars but pulled by single rows of horses in tandem.

I hope this is helps.

When I talked to John in Chicago he told me a bunch of stuff he was working on and most of it was stuff I wanted him to do. The fact that he was already working on it made me very happy. He mentioned a wagon but said he was unsure of how the harness was supposed to be for the time period. So if anybody has any info pass it on to John
