For starters my Russians are engaged in a NWF campaign invading south from Bukhara into Chitral Territory as being recoded on <a href="https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=131610.630">The Lead Adventure Forum - Never Trust Anyone On The Frontier NWF Campaign</a> and where I entered this campaign <a href="https://sgtguinness.blogspot.com/search/label/LAF?m=0">on my blog.</a></p><p>I love to research the units, uniforms, battles, commanders, etc. Whenever I decide to build an Army I usually buy figures from every manufacturer who produces the ones I need or that I can use for the period or battles in question. For this project I started with Askari Miniatures and Eureka Miniatures. </p><p>For this blog post I'm going to focus on the Russian Artillery Limber made by <a href="https://askari-minis.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23_49&products_id=182">Askari Miniatures (Russian Limber)</a>. I love Al's Limbers and guns. The quality is top notch, the castings clean, and all the items are thoroughly researched. These products are quite possibly the best guns and limbers on the market in this scale.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the Askari website:</p><p><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="color: #ffe599; font-size: 13.6px;">While the other Great Powers participated in the "Scramble for Africa" in the late 19th century, the Russians advanced eastward and southward into the Caucasus and Central Asia.</span></p><p><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="color: #ffe599; font-size: 13.6px;">The armies of the Caucasus and Turkestan became the sources of military innovation for the rest of the army.</span></p><p><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13.6px;"><span style="color: #ffe599;">Our Russian figures represent the army that conquered Turkestan in the 1860s and 1870s.

He along with Naik Gurung #4864 have briefed the commanding officer of the brigade, General McGuinness, on the information gathered. One of the village Elders encountered, gave them information about a secret pass that would save them significant time on their march to relieve Chitral. Naik Gurung #4864 did not entirely trust the information that was given to them regarding the pass and wasn’t sure that it existed at all. General McGuinness is well aware of the fact that nobody can be trusted on the Northwest Frontier. A decision was made to further investigate the possibility of this pass and a larger reconnaissance force under the command of Captain Aylmer Cameron (72nd Highlanders) would be sent out. This force would include a heliograph team that would be able to signal back information to the main force as it continued to slog its way northward, to and through, Lowari Pass. After traversing the Lowari Pass, which wasn’t an easy task by any means, the patrol sets up camp.</span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; font-size: 12.48px;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #7f6000;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #7f6000;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #7f6000;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #7f6000;"><span style="color: #1d2228;"> </span><span style="color: #1d2228;"> </span><span style="color: white;"> <span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12.48px;">Captain Aylmer Cameron</span></span></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnHnOOcB-BX9gtO7xHa-gM5IM2jTn8_vf270yhfJx1Bgp7FgRgLcm6szPLYEJS04WOY7W-Kbj2Jx-T2omH90EloqRkp9Vs92offI-r51l7q-oyotIVaKLWoLuJ9QKMglwGchunFo2JYn977w72QTxntka4Bc2S8d4S94GuOzuFZTLlrG-PMSOwg0J1/s263/Captain%20Aylmer%20Cameron.jpg" style="background-color: #7f6000; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="263" data-original-width="154" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnHnOOcB-BX9gtO7xHa-gM5IM2jTn8_vf270yhfJx1Bgp7FgRgLcm6szPLYEJS04WOY7W-Kbj2Jx-T2omH90EloqRkp9Vs92offI-r51l7q-oyotIVaKLWoLuJ9QKMglwGchunFo2JYn977w72QTxntka4Bc2S8d4S94GuOzuFZTLlrG-PMSOwg0J1/s1600/Captain%20Aylmer%20Cameron.jpg" width="154" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: #7f6000;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: white;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;">1 unit of Pashtun guides (platoon sized)</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;" /><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;">1 squadron of the 77th Lancers (Lt Howell)</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;" /><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;">1 company of the 2nd Gurkhas (Naik Gurung #4864)</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;" /><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;">1 platoon of the 23rd Sikh Pioneers</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;" /><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;">1 platoon of 72nd Highlanders (Capt Aylmer Cameron)</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;" /><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;">1 signal corps heliograph team</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;" /><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;">Baggage train</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;" /><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;">Meanwhile, A Russian Brigade commanded by General Vasily Perovsky has successfully crossed the Dora Pass into the Chitral.

He has lost most of his animals and supplies to thieving Chitralis who make off with the animals during the cover of darkness. His men are now hungry and growing restless and he fears he may soon have a mutiny on his hands. But their hunger and desperation could serve to boost their fighting spirit. For Stepanovich, his only option for attack was a full-on frontal attack. He positioned himself and the Kuban Cossacks in the middle, flanked by the Smolenksi Line on the left and the Kharkiv Line to his right. The Hussars were directly behind his infantry in the center.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000;

text-align: -webkit-left;">As the Russians advanced, the Pashtun Guides bolted for the hills, but the Martinis and Sniders of the 72nd Highlanders and 23 Sikh Pioneers opened up a deadly fire from their positions behind the carts of the baggage train. The Kuban Cossacks took the brunt of the fire on their center position. Their advance was halted but the Hussars skirted out from behind them and made a headlong charge towards the 77th Lancers. The two cavalry units made contact and engaged in a rolling melee. The advantage was with the 77th Lancers initially as their lances created a mismatch. It looked as though all for lost for the Pavlogradski Hussars, then fate stepped in. A lot of dust was kicked up during the melee, and the 72nd Highlanders for some reason fired into the melee, causing heavy casualties among the Lancers. The Lancers became demoralized and as the Hussars pressed the attack, the Indian lancers routed and disappeared back into the Lowari Pass.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;" /></span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;" /><span style="color: white;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;">Meanwhile the Kuban Cossacks were decimated by the continued fire from behind the British baggage train wagons and Major Stepanovich was nowhere in sight. The best chance of success for the Russians at this point was for the Smolenski Line to keep the 2nd Gurkhas busy by engaging them in a long-range firefight while the remnants of the Hussars along with the still at full strength Kharkiv Line Regiment tried to flank the 72nd Highlanders and 23rd Sikhs behind the baggage train carts.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;" /><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;">Naik Gurung #4864 was severely wounded during the exchange of fire between the Gurkhas and the Smolenski line. A sense of panic spread amongst the usually steadfast and brave Gurkhas as their casualties grew. They eventually broke ranks, and like the 77th Lancers, headed back through the Lowari pass, deserting the wounded Naik Gurung #4864. Seeing the Gurkhas flee emboldened the Smolenskis and they pressed on toward the British encampment on the opposite flank of the Hussars and Kharkiv regiment.</span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: #7f6000;"><span style="color: white;"><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;" /><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;">The remnants of the Pavlogradski Hussars charged the 72nd Highlanders but were easily repulsed due to their lack of numbers and the bravery of the Highlanders. However, the cavalry charge diverted the attention of the Highlanders and the Kharkiv unit was able to advance within shortrange of the 72nd.</span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhaVTGB8RgEdIty78UEbg4bR70LBRW4qihLIm1qE_gWyDzyDN4kcKH1xoXbUrsnqulMckuJTWOyFiS1CYuiyEB47GkDWycc2n4e9SAvRU_C_s9KfmNOG4qW9DZhfEuYiorv3z2HH-w5oSP-LgJmb9MhdjNE0V3c9cZmdazmCbdS_qH_AZluv58oAu4P" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhaVTGB8RgEdIty78UEbg4bR70LBRW4qihLIm1qE_gWyDzyDN4kcKH1xoXbUrsnqulMckuJTWOyFiS1CYuiyEB47GkDWycc2n4e9SAvRU_C_s9KfmNOG4qW9DZhfEuYiorv3z2HH-w5oSP-LgJmb9MhdjNE0V3c9cZmdazmCbdS_qH_AZluv58oAu4P" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg0ngFxOPMSh5LFiHOlFzkvga2GJPCRVJTi4VFxeit0JDZ6MeYahmRM0nXy05wogotDY0aE1tnnWnGgVa9lznCZ39C07juDe-Ltlfzgh3xUDhdnTWzrF6Hc9jboaIfIAWRax31szGvwVILFmwp9Naq065rY7s_4YLyQQ2mELZwXdP9lS7cD1JVsf_NY" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg0ngFxOPMSh5LFiHOlFzkvga2GJPCRVJTi4VFxeit0JDZ6MeYahmRM0nXy05wogotDY0aE1tnnWnGgVa9lznCZ39C07juDe-Ltlfzgh3xUDhdnTWzrF6Hc9jboaIfIAWRax31szGvwVILFmwp9Naq065rY7s_4YLyQQ2mELZwXdP9lS7cD1JVsf_NY" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiGJ3GazHA4abFM8Eul0s6ap1zBuJfCDqlDssvPVxNU_kefMzuOlSD0O8n40f6bCZKP7h3mktIHHGJfQsLJ8IMGL0ueMTSIZlFm-QI2ViU9x_ReMblw1ZI4Oc_xLNUHJGTCjMXJA7-0-xJeZEwXGgdYr890U1F6wmNJfXfBJ0bhe-tn98JASbYQJs8N" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiGJ3GazHA4abFM8Eul0s6ap1zBuJfCDqlDssvPVxNU_kefMzuOlSD0O8n40f6bCZKP7h3mktIHHGJfQsLJ8IMGL0ueMTSIZlFm-QI2ViU9x_ReMblw1ZI4Oc_xLNUHJGTCjMXJA7-0-xJeZEwXGgdYr890U1F6wmNJfXfBJ0bhe-tn98JASbYQJs8N" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi88qKHd4q9G4Dh8PZSwTCXsGOsqcFkNoLumJ7aL-Dqi_4Hyyo7JEY2ldqYZTLiMqqGwCtUrTqfdWN2RXKdt1KzCmUQuKsnUWxkS85vIJ8ONuAtznsMlw8aFY6Mx_JILZ6-GzJNOY9xqdyNZoM_2FPTul-vGVxOTRtuHGC5P9ixGxO4yWb8_2f_TtoO" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi88qKHd4q9G4Dh8PZSwTCXsGOsqcFkNoLumJ7aL-Dqi_4Hyyo7JEY2ldqYZTLiMqqGwCtUrTqfdWN2RXKdt1KzCmUQuKsnUWxkS85vIJ8ONuAtznsMlw8aFY6Mx_JILZ6-GzJNOY9xqdyNZoM_2FPTul-vGVxOTRtuHGC5P9ixGxO4yWb8_2f_TtoO" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: #7f6000;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;">On the other flank, the steady fire of the Snider rifles of the 23rd Pioneers drove back the Smolenski line and they eventually gave up and left the field of battle.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;" /><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;">Captain Aylmer Cameron of the Highlanders raised a flag of truce and met with the commander of the last remaining Russians; the Kharkiv Regiment. Cameron had in tow, Major Petrov Stepanovich, who had been captured during the action. Both agreed that further conflict would just result in more lives lost for both sides. Cameron agreed to give the Russians one cart load of food and Stepanovich in exchange for them leaving and ceasing the attack. The Russians were all to happy to hear this and gladly accepted the offer.</span></span><br style="background-color: #999966; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;" /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #999966; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #999966; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4xOkwajUdT0O8oSwDLjk3CUtBjtgtZMTKzHKIUKDyg31t5flMd5l5olC-2YUVowgbE_hu8sF43hFviYoX9K-BQmHCn2aVUvb7xczoOkgvazMznX4e-flxTQd9J6a_8OWY2HqfollUfDiekKFsbLJK8JtkbL1n7z6ocnwzc4WBVpTlIeH38T-aFrfU" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4xOkwajUdT0O8oSwDLjk3CUtBjtgtZMTKzHKIUKDyg31t5flMd5l5olC-2YUVowgbE_hu8sF43hFviYoX9K-BQmHCn2aVUvb7xczoOkgvazMznX4e-flxTQd9J6a_8OWY2HqfollUfDiekKFsbLJK8JtkbL1n7z6ocnwzc4WBVpTlIeH38T-aFrfU" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #999966; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjlG3AjehnDhSPMY40mjkSnphe4aAQR8zU_-fGh9RMGPSZ91qOTqp0ckubcSwV5PHK27wlHe-GkcSD6osR6dRLshmhrXrUL91y-6JEHB_emv8zsw48WM2luqoqPM2M3i2cOsGtJ1c3VjCveG7xuvrI6MHBnGWvTKLLwFfAg7GELR3t3NAXDoiqn5Rt5" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjlG3AjehnDhSPMY40mjkSnphe4aAQR8zU_-fGh9RMGPSZ91qOTqp0ckubcSwV5PHK27wlHe-GkcSD6osR6dRLshmhrXrUL91y-6JEHB_emv8zsw48WM2luqoqPM2M3i2cOsGtJ1c3VjCveG7xuvrI6MHBnGWvTKLLwFfAg7GELR3t3NAXDoiqn5Rt5" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; color: white; font-size: 12.48px; text-align: -webkit-left;">The British now broke camp and headed back towards the pass to eventually link up with General McGuinness’ column once again.

I’m very pleased with the results, however in the future I would make the map a bit darker to show up better. If you zoom in you can see the map details.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXVxiW7KOPm8Lf-LvYEzWNkFG56qAnSxFkCo5mkOPWCvVHyva09msnUr4GFizuiPepN2lAuNEARcCVJkkdIf9VLCfRyn0AKk9ZM3dQhflo6Rn93XcIdV8QJHDccxjpKBw5g9eylfXOGcchp0p2pGnVarxdKZ264kwcDrj7BCcPoqVKId9A_8bQeGa1/s4032/8A25FB2A-FBA4-49D3-8978-4296F9DAD71F.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em;

As with most projects I started my research in my library, then an internet image search, followed by hitting my usual on line hobby forums and websites looking for advice. However my research was contradictory and inconclusive so I reached out my friend Roy Jones Jr. whom in my opinion is the premier historian on German colonial topics that I know, especially the Herero Wars. </p><p>Roy directed me to a website that I’ve loved in the past for German colonial uniform references, but even this website wasn't 100% conclusive. Based on Roy's recommendations I went with a dull brass colored barrel and breach with the remainder in a light sand. As Roy says, it will give me more diverse usage.</p><p>If anyone has any additional data please contact me, I can always repaint the model. </p><p>The model I picked is from Askari Minis German Colonial range. Here's the link data from their website.</p><p> <a href="https://askari-minis.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23_45&products_id=90">German Krupp 75mm Mountain Gun</a><br /></p><p> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRQeW7WtGHh644LveziQYxCuKhpVNm9ZvMJcZgGFWbv39XeJiPNlgNdtC49RGlBAhbITWmSf89pfYrz6hjAnvwcV5Kb-ecCShJfMCZopXZb9b1ObXZ8eG4kjv7_6lN5-nvutuDBEN8sb3N1r61OMilGkPqe465NmX0l-4Lw79q2U9Rcj5WGfCuSWcJ/s551/6880A427-52DA-4F49-9B45-4ABCF52BCC1B.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="551" data-original-width="451" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRQeW7WtGHh644LveziQYxCuKhpVNm9ZvMJcZgGFWbv39XeJiPNlgNdtC49RGlBAhbITWmSf89pfYrz6hjAnvwcV5Kb-ecCShJfMCZopXZb9b1ObXZ8eG4kjv7_6lN5-nvutuDBEN8sb3N1r61OMilGkPqe465NmX0l-4Lw79q2U9Rcj5WGfCuSWcJ/s320/6880A427-52DA-4F49-9B45-4ABCF52BCC1B.jpeg" width="262" /></a> </p><p><br /></p><p><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: #7f6000; color: #fff2cc; font-size: 14.96px;">This very versatile gun was manufactured by Krupp for export beginning in 1895, ironically not being bought (initially) by the German government.

It has a contemporary black and white photo from 1905 of a German Mountain Gun during the Nama Wars. The gun looks exactly like Gun No. 1, gun shield and all. It might even be Gun No. 1.</span></p><p class="yiv5653935682ydpdc2e23edMsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;"> </span></p><p class="yiv5653935682ydpdc2e23edMsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">In that contemporary 1905 photo there’s no discernable difference in shading between the barrel and the rest of the gun (except for the back of the gun shield), just as there’s no difference in color between the barrel and the rest of the gun in the photo of Gun No. 1 (except for the black wheel rims, which are a modern touch).</span></p><p class="yiv5653935682ydpdc2e23edMsoListParagraph" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;"> </span></p><p class="yiv5653935682ydpdc2e23edMsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">More specifically, the barrel is NOT brass-colored. So, I would conclude that Gun No. 1 was originally all sand-colored. If it’s the same gun as in the contemporary photo, it would have been manufactured no later than 1905. If the numbering system aligns with date of manufacture, in fact it would have been manufactured in 1904.</span></p><p class="yiv5653935682ydpdc2e23edMsoListParagraph" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;"> </span></p><p class="yiv5653935682ydpdc2e23edMsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">For Gun No. 7, on the other hand, the barrel and breech ARE brass-colored. The rest of the gun is all another color.

Whether earlier guns with brass barrels (e.g., Gun No. 4, 6, or 10) were used in the Nama Wars, I don’t know off the top of my head.</span></p><p class="yiv5653935682ydpdc2e23edMsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;"> </span></p><p class="yiv5653935682ydpdc2e23edMsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">But Gun No. 7 was definitely deployed in WWI, as was Gun No. 4, 6, or 10.</span></p><p class="yiv5653935682ydpdc2e23edMsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;"> </span></p><p class="yiv5653935682ydpdc2e23edMsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">So, I would suggest option (a) - </span><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif;">paint the barrel and breech brass-colored, and everything else sand-colored – for maximum flexibility of use.</span></p></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Sgt.

He’s been sending me troops to use in the game for weeks prior and I’ve been painting Russians to add to the battle as well as making custom game cards for all the forces involved. We will be using my favorite set of rules: <a href="http://www.sergeants3.com/">THE SWORD AND THE FLAME</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some of the custom game cards.

These originally came out in 1980 and were such a blast to play. All the players would be the US Cavalry playing against the Native Americans controlled by chance and the umpire / games master. I had so much fun back in the day with these rules and can’t wait to try them again! I got my original copy from a flea market stand / bring & buy at an HMGS Historicon convention at the Penn Harris Inn in Pennsylvania around 1985 or 86 </p><p>The rules are an exact copy of the original text, however they’ve got a glossy make over with stunning pictures and a hard cover. Very well done indeed. The card decks, the old ones which have long since been impossible to find are finely reproduced and shipped with the rules. Thank you Baccus 6mm LTD for making good on your promise to reproduce this iconic and awesome set!</p><p>As a long time gamer and owner of the original rules set I can highly recommend these rules and am very satisfied with the revamped product. I would of however liked the set to be packed in a hard box as the ends of my book are slightly damaged as well as my card box. This however doesn’t detract from my joy of receiving these products. They are available here:</p><p><a href="https://www.baccus6mm.com/">https://www.baccus6mm.com/</a><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> Here is the forward from the design team:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfColOYYr-zbRBGA_1ZAXbND65BB68Fp2MEUvne29sjz8A_rDJSLH9m599wTFjh2dKhaQbZ1hS7SeYtnOkKWZHEGD4wU6T4eiYfvygEZf8_X7J_b4dxAQBH6Dfp4H4MAN3laJvjsD5zHs/s2048/37EC8AEF-92D9-4FAD-B36E-623A6C5E3923.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1488" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfColOYYr-zbRBGA_1ZAXbND65BB68Fp2MEUvne29sjz8A_rDJSLH9m599wTFjh2dKhaQbZ1hS7SeYtnOkKWZHEGD4wU6T4eiYfvygEZf8_X7J_b4dxAQBH6Dfp4H4MAN3laJvjsD5zHs/s320/37EC8AEF-92D9-4FAD-B36E-623A6C5E3923.jpeg" width="233" /></a></div><div><br /></div>One of the many glossy evocative photos of beautiful troops and terrain that will surely motivate you to build and paint your own forces and terrain. <div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbV32d9Iy4s8r3dWkSUdklxnuhe2tQwqNqvrf_MA2kphrdlww2srfNz82CmSh85nMInuAUu7zyH1FOJn0l_qP8vh1QyCVgQO9Uaz4NeDmeHsILJzl6y7wvnyUHBnx2bRcQ9GEwcKSC834/s2048/73B385DA-689C-4908-B924-90AEC8B37373.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1979" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbV32d9Iy4s8r3dWkSUdklxnuhe2tQwqNqvrf_MA2kphrdlww2srfNz82CmSh85nMInuAUu7zyH1FOJn0l_qP8vh1QyCVgQO9Uaz4NeDmeHsILJzl6y7wvnyUHBnx2bRcQ9GEwcKSC834/s320/73B385DA-689C-4908-B924-90AEC8B37373.jpeg" width="309" /></a></div><div><br /></div>A sampling of pages from the hard cover glossy rules book. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi615s24KBgRpqxNx-KO8RpG5ZsT7PrucljH9LxfRGnGcn3cng1GQHoVSy8JdiGIjk8ZNhXl2idWFQe9awNM4FBMWuvgC6XxTeFq_uG0LXR7gLzxDlE8XkXGRnhKTMiz532yI-WofPrFys/s2048/A631F9D6-02DE-4D1E-98BE-82CA12AB50F5.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1570" data-original-width="2048" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi615s24KBgRpqxNx-KO8RpG5ZsT7PrucljH9LxfRGnGcn3cng1GQHoVSy8JdiGIjk8ZNhXl2idWFQe9awNM4FBMWuvgC6XxTeFq_uG0LXR7gLzxDlE8XkXGRnhKTMiz532yI-WofPrFys/s320/A631F9D6-02DE-4D1E-98BE-82CA12AB50F5.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz_mIRI_GYb-kKhSvOu8Y5amDZXqx8tdSfd9kpCzKR4XFhGitkue1Pevleih0jddSJqOYok0S74Yal8XhyphenhyphennV0V4uTUHyPAq75D9vWI6is0w9zu5Wx3SC6K4c0Bx541Xa7V0FGx_bIc1o8/s2048/F5F30DEF-3E74-4408-9819-8B22E9940E1C.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2048" height="234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz_mIRI_GYb-kKhSvOu8Y5amDZXqx8tdSfd9kpCzKR4XFhGitkue1Pevleih0jddSJqOYok0S74Yal8XhyphenhyphennV0V4uTUHyPAq75D9vWI6is0w9zu5Wx3SC6K4c0Bx541Xa7V0FGx_bIc1o8/s320/F5F30DEF-3E74-4408-9819-8B22E9940E1C.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJjIvA_CqjsK7M0-8pdLF55uvQCjCybk266Mkn-RyFxTyDR2UUnNEggROt-SIPWuZak8Nu3vmUZG3RlBNhXyMK3GPa1p8yjZf-b7MTXCwDGqrKzyVQ9WbPKO9k9gp46GmTduSi7PhSqL4/s2048/E3A20E50-1CC0-4B51-BF85-027BDCE61F1A.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1413" data-original-width="2048" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJjIvA_CqjsK7M0-8pdLF55uvQCjCybk266Mkn-RyFxTyDR2UUnNEggROt-SIPWuZak8Nu3vmUZG3RlBNhXyMK3GPa1p8yjZf-b7MTXCwDGqrKzyVQ9WbPKO9k9gp46GmTduSi7PhSqL4/s320/E3A20E50-1CC0-4B51-BF85-027BDCE61F1A.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Excellent cover art and proprietary card deck required for the game mechanics.

They did managed to pin, and cause some casualties, but the stone buildings and terrain gave the advantage to the French. The Germans attacked the center crossroads with two infantry platoons with their armor support on the left. However, the German assault developed and was slowed by unexpected heavy casualties, and pins, while their tow tanks rebuffed all attacks. At best the German air attack caused pins to the French armor while their third platoon managed to get to the far right flank around the French.</span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span></p><p class="ydp26cca3cyiv0628677738MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(38, 40, 42); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 28px;"><span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Telling was the inability of the Germans to get a foot hold in the crossroads in a timely manner, with ineffective fire at the French armor.</span></span></p><p class="ydp26cca3cyiv0628677738MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(38, 40, 42); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 28px;"><span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The Germans lost about 25% of their infantry power trying to get close to assault the crossroad, but could not budge the French, with no real way of killing the armor, until they could close assault with the AT grenades, and Panzerknocker teams, or wait for more air cover, and support.</span></span></p><p class="ydp26cca3cyiv0628677738MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(38, 40, 42); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 28px;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: #fff2cc;"> </span></span></p><p class="ydp26cca3cyiv0628677738MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(38, 40, 42); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 28px;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: #fff2cc;">In the end the French were able to stop the Germans for the morning (marginal victory), but two things were apparent. One, the Germans had worked to the far right flank, and could catch the French defending that side of the table in a crossfire, and assault the flank with a fresh squad, and with heavy casualties the Germans on the left could bring fire from the assault guns to the crossroads on the flank. This while though taking more casualties, the Germans where finally getting into position. </span></span></p><p><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;" /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
