[GoC] Howitzer Drill and Emplacement, King's Harbour

[Bregir]

In these times of war, settlements across the kingdom are exercising their defences, including the garrison at King's Harbour on Cocovia.  Although distant from the Lotus War in the Far East, the recent conflict on Terraversa did stir up the troops considerably, leading commanders to step up training and preparing defences at an accelerated rate.

While many soldiers find this tiresome, the 45th Royal Artillery Regiment in King's Harbour gunners have taken great delight in exercising their howitzers from prepared positions around the city.

This is likely due to the joy of being allowed to fire their field howitzers in earnest, tempered by the knowledge that all the hard work of setting up the embankments have been done by engineers and infantry.

C&C welcome.

(Unfortunately, these are old pictures from before my photo lamp, and the light is... horrible.)

good military build!

The howitzer with horse cart is well built. I also like the position with the palisades.

[Jeff of Clubs]

Some fine howitzers! The carriages are a lot of fun! My sympathies for the poor infantry. 

[Justsomebrix]

Great build as always Bregir 

[kurigan]

So cool 

Please show us a break-down of your gun's construction 

[Thomas Waagenaar]

Looks neat! Am a big fan of the mortar carriage being pulled by a horse as well!

That's howitz done!

I love the howitzer horse wagon, with the extra carriage! Interesting military build, with plenty going on. I also like how you did the fortification and the terrain. Well done.

The only finicky bit is getting the "ears" of the golden piece to hold the barrel, but it works quite well.

[kurigan]

Tried it out, wound-up going a very different way with it 

Look here!
