The cannons and limber in this set have been sculpted digitally, an exciting new development for Victrix. Below are some renders of the cannon and limber. Photographs of the plastic models will appear shortly.

To achieve the high level of detail you have come to expect from Victrix models, the cannons and limbers are multi-part constructions. The detail even extends to the elevation screw which can be cut to preferred length and drag chains which can be attached to the model.

British artillery companies were generally made up of 5 x cannons and 1 x 5.5 inch howitzer. Wellington often suffered a shortage of artillery during the Peninsular War, often having to split his companies into subdivisions of 2 to 3 x 6 pdr’s and 1 howitzer per infantry division.

Foot companies were armed during the early stages of the Peninsular War with the short 6 pdr which was gradually replaced by the long 6 pdr from 1810. The Foot Artillery from 1813 was issued with the 9 pdr which they continued to use during the Waterloo campaign.
