How many crew would be required to operate this weapon? (Min/max)

I think most of the infantry guns of the period could just about cope with 4 crew (gunner, loader, gun layer and gun captain) but the average seems to be from 6 to 8, if you include ammo runners and such.

Ten. One to operate the gun and nine to shriek "Sooo cute!"

Or is that blondes changing a light bulb?

Hehehe...

Where are good places to buy crewmen? Either British or German at this stage...
