Title: 18 pdr cannon
Post by: timg on 31 January 2011, 11:48:47 AM

Anyone know a source for an 18 pdr cannon? After one for a future game which is compatible with Boot Hills wonderfull figures.

Its a tricky one Tim.

There is a 24pdr seige gun in the OG Napoleonic range that would do at a push. it is as you would imagine a big piece.

I have been thinking about using the carriage from a Front Rank French Naploeonic 12pdr and finding a larger barrel from another gun. Its worth looking through Front Ranks other periods to see what guns are on offer that would convert easily. It would be a costly exercise though just for one piece :?

There is a nice big 32pdr at the bottom of this page if that is of any use. I take it that this is for the John Wayne esque Alamo thing? perhaps a big siege gun form earlier times might do, or at least the barrel

Front Rank do a 24 pounder, if that's any help.

Yes its the 18pdr from the Alamo we are seeking. Like everyone else I have drawn a blank so will have to consider making one but thanks for the help chaps.
