Title: Question about buying Perry Minis Artillery & Crew
Post by: Onebigriver on 15 September 2024, 05:26:59 PM
Hi all, I'm looking to buy a French 8 pdr and crew from Perry Miniatures, but it's really not clear on the website if the cannon comes with the crew. £10 would be incredibly cheap for cannon and crew, so would I need to order the French from the Duchy of Warsaw listing. Can't find a contact email address on the website so I'm hoping someone here can help.

Thanks

Not sure which set you are referring to but all the guns I have ever bought include a gun and 4 crew.

Great, thanks

I do see that later sets i.e. The DOW range have seperate packs for crews and guns. But the crew packs are clearly marked no gun included.

I would guess that it's a gun and 4 crew since you can pick up a pack of extra crew or helpers which is 6 figures at £8, it wouldn't make sense to just have 4 crew at £10. Does seem like a bargain though.
I notice the 12 pounder comes at £12 but includes 6 crew. Another bargain.

Snap it up quick before they bump the price up.

Perry are very fair with their prices for guns and crew. E.g. £10 for M.G. plus four crew - comes as pictured.
