Beautiful
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Thank you gents,

Juergen, I'd chose this range over my friends anytime ;--)
Mo, The Camel is from Ebob, the miniatures from Alan Marsh.
Huevans, I am a born German and therefor not witty enough to answer that.
Harry, loose charge is the answer.

Thanks guys,

Alan Marsh's miniatures paint up really well and have a load of character.
I am looking forward to digging into the line units.

I remember first seeing a print of this back in the 1970's.  The theory then was that prior to actually firing, the saddle (with the attached gun) was first removed from the poor beastie's back, as the camel probably would dash away (if the recoil didn't break its' back).

There were different versions apparently. I wanted to offer the one with the frame eventually as there's nice uniforms to go with it.
