Has anyone ever thought about making separate sets of guns and crew? I don't know about the practicality or feasibility or the marketability of such a thing.
You could do sprues of 4 guns with a variety of barrels (tubes) and package it in whatever multiples you wanted. I would think 8,12 or 16 guns.
Artillery sets are manufactured with the basic crew You have a rammer, a man with Port fire, and a figure carrying ammo and a gun Commander. Some manufacturers some manufacturers give you a figure with a handspike or repositioning Wheels. So you do eight crewmen to a spure in a variety of poses maybe some with rings hands and extra tools. You could also do one or two figures in the act of defending the guns. This would give you the extra artillerymen that the guns required also give you replacements and artillerymen for the random guns that you pick up along the way such as metal,Giant and ,yes, the Eagle games guns. I think maybe doing command groups,en bricole,and prolonge maybe a little ambitious.
Seems to me this would be a system that would give you quite a bit of flexibility .I'm sure there's many details there that I haven't thought of and and I don't know if you even if it would be practical or if you could make money off of it. Just a random thought.
