From MartinC Ottoman Artillery (100pts)

 Happy new year one and all. Hope nobody had a party, everyone stayed in and was sensible.

The Turkish forces in WW1 had no tanks or armoured cars, which creates a problem when fighting as the British did. So I need artillery to give me AT capability. The Turks used 75mm Krupp guns as light artillery. However they were few as the Turks never really recoved from having their arse handed to them in the Balkans before WW1 and losing a lot of kit. Even worse the artillery shortage during the Caucasian campaign was critical. 

So all that being said I have painted up 3 75mm guns

Gripping Beast guns come with a crew of 6 which is excessive for gaming so I bought an extra gun from Tiger Miniatures and had 3 guns with 4 crew

These have come out well and I'm pleased with them

Photos of Ottoman artillery often show a single man in white uniform, usually the sergeant. Wearing white must have been dangerous in battle, even if you are the artillery.

Despite all i said about lack of artillery I have added a forward observer

This is a really nice model with field telephone and range finder viewer. For Caucus this will be a spotter but for bigger WW1 battles it will be forward observer. in Bolt Action they get 1 potentially devastating shot at a heavy barrage. Good for softening up the enemy

Scores on the Doors

3 crew served weapons with 4 crew = 90pts

Forward observers = 10 pts

Total = 100

Have a good day for tis work on Monday.
