HERITAGE PLUS Posted 26 February , 2014 Share Posted 26 February , 2014 Artillery is not my sphere of knowledge. I would be grateful if a knowledgeable Pal could tell me what the length on the road was taken up by a 4.5m Howitzer with Horses and Ammunition. Many Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelfe Posted 27 February , 2014 Share Posted 27 February , 2014 Probably the same as an 18-pr bty, the figures are probably in the Field Service Pocketbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertBr Posted 27 February , 2014 Share Posted 27 February , 2014 The gun is 1.63m long and from my model I estimate the limber at about the same length. Thats the half I can answer, the team length I do not know. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
