Title: Does size matter? Bombard length?
Post by: GrumpyOldMan on 14 May 2021, 10:23:20 PM
Hello

Was just looking at the bombard in EMM8 (and Ottomans) and was just wondering on the length of the casting, would it fit on a 40mm depth base?

Cheers, thanks for any info.

It definitely won't fit on a 40mm deep base, they would just fit on 60mm deep but there would be no space in front or behind

My EMM8 are on 80mm deep bases

There are flying carpets and Djinn on the other flank of the army.

QuoteNo wonder they captured Vienna.

I thought they only besieged it? As an aside, we stayed with friends who live near to where the Ottoman forces were encamped.

If we can accept that they had flying carpets, elephants, and exploding tarbooshes, we can accept that they took Vienna (and probably Paris too).
