    My son and I just started table top gaming. We are new to Bolt Action so I apologize if this question has been addressed before. What do we do if we have artillery pieces without crews? Is there somewhere to find generic crews or substitutes. Thanks, K

    YOu can mostly buy guns with crews but some companies do have some crews sold seperate. What are you looking for ?

    British crews for 5.5 gun, 25 pdr, 6 pdr gun. Already have the artillery pieces. I guess worse case scenario would be just to use infantry figures.

    Artizan Designs has a couple of crews available separately – US airborne for a 75mm howitzer, Late war Heer for a Pak 40.

    Cracking stuff Gareth. How many times do we forget the ammo! Great work.

    Thanks for the kind words. I only put the ammo in and other bits after finding this nice video:

    Scottish Arty in action

    As we have some very helpful military experts in here can anybody tell what the special shaped metal bits used to lift the artillery into position in the video are called ? I recreated a couple out of plasticard but I cannot find a name for them ?

    Any help would be great.
