guns for german colonial artillery

[QuietWarrior]

How about posting in my forum what you want to see. I am looking to add a bunch of packs to the range but would like to see what interest there would be and for what figures.

A Konigsberg gun would be sweet

Yah, I'd buy a Konigsberg 4.7" gun in a heartbeat.  Would be great with crew.

There should be enough photos of them to model one from at www.germancolonialuniforms.co.uk scroll down to "Konigsberg Guns"

Cheers

WOO-WOO! A 4.7" Konigsberg with naval gun crew would be great for WWI and VSF!  Imperial German foes would shake in their boots when one or two of theses appeared on the game board.

That looks like a 1904 Ehrhardt 75mm mountain gun (featuring the world's first variable recoil system!). There's also lots of photos of them at www.germancolonialuniforms.co.uk scroll down to "Schutztruppe Mountain Guns"

Great photos and a fine research article on the SMS Konigsberg and her guns. Thanks.
