Title: Fortress guns in 15mm?
Post by: Swampking on 19 September 2025, 09:43:16 PM: I wasn't sure where to place this question but I bought a Vauban fortress from paperterrain and was curious as to if there are any UK or EU-based manufacturers that had Fortress guns or, in a pinch, deck guns in 15mm.

mods: if this thread needs to be moved, please move it to the appropriate section.

Here is a link:

The gun itself is 28mm in length and the carriage is 29mm long and 15mm high. With the gun attached it will be 17mm high, with no base.

Peter Pig's Pirate range has guns in a number of sizes. Sorry I can't provide the link, as it's blocked by the work computer for some reason.

The only problem with QRF's website at present is that all the fortress guns (and, a lot of other useful stuff) is "out of stock". Not sure what that means but I'll look at Irregular and Peter Pig. lol

Post by: Swampking on 23 September 2025, 08:32:01 PM: Thanks for mentioning the Little Corporal! I've got them bookmarked! Not sure when/if they'll get the fortress guns and the 19th century European Wars (need to get some Schleswig-Holsteiners for my Germans of the 1st S-H War of 1848).

Also, got some guns on order from Peter Pig - we'll see how those work out.

I've also started to make my own ships for a 1788 amphibious campaign, so more deck/fortress guns will be ordered! lol
