Hi,
since it will take some more time for me to finsh my promised uhlan I did a pic of one of my artillery regiments. This is the 2mè Régiment d'Artillerie à pied, currently attached to my I. Corps as reserve artillery and the only artillery regiment I have built so far (apart from the two guard artillery regts. that is
).
As can be seen in the pic I have six long 12 pdr. guns and two howitzers in these units (plus two ammunition waggons). The mounted figures in front are the regimental colonel and his Major. Next to them is the eagle bearer and only one drummer. I could not find the other two drummers ... maybe they have deserted from the flags... I'll send the gendarmes for them
The eight figures on the right are no artillerymen, but the artificers and miners attached to this unit from the 13th company of ouvriers. And finally you might notice the figures uniformed in sky-blue riding the draught-horses. These fellows are soldiers of the artillery train (8th Batallion of train). Their comrades of the elite company of the 8th train-bat. are serving in the 9th mounted artillery regt. which has yet to be finished
