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!"

Hehehe...

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