Here are some interesting facts about Civil War cannoneers:

Artillery Units: Cannoneers were part of artillery units, which were crucial in both the Union and Confederate armies. These units typically consisted of various types of cannons and their crews.

Types of Cannons: The most common cannons used in the Civil War were the Napoleon (smoothbore), the Parrott rifle, the Ordnance rifle, and the Whitworth rifle. Each cannon had its unique features and advantages.

Crew Responsibilities: A cannon crew typically had six members, including the gunner (in charge of aiming and firing), two loaders (responsible for loading the cannon with powder and projectiles), and two spongers (responsible for cleaning the cannon between shots).

Training: Cannoneers underwent extensive training to learn their roles and to perfect the loading and firing process, which was essential for achieving maximum efficiency and accuracy on the battlefield.

Horse-drawn Artillery: To ensure mobility on the battlefield, cannons were often attached to horse-drawn carriages called caissons. These allowed cannoneers to quickly move their weapons to strategic positions during battle.

Importance of Artillery: Cannons played a significant role in many Civil War battles, such as the Battle of Gettysburg, where they were used for both offense and defense. They were capable of firing various types of projectiles, including solid shot, canister shot, and shells, which allowed them to target both infantry and enemy artillery.

Technological Advancements: The Civil War saw the introduction of rifled artillery, which significantly improved the range and accuracy of cannons. This allowed cannoneers to strike targets from a greater distance and with better precision.

Artillery Tactics: Cannoneers utilized several tactics to maximize the effectiveness of their cannons, such as enfilading fire (firing along the length of an enemy line) and massing fire (concentrating the fire of multiple cannons on a single target).

These facts showcase the importance and skill of cannoneers during the American Civil War, as well as the advancements in artillery technology and tactics that helped shape the outcome of this pivotal conflict.

This is a high quality miniature 3D printed by Speira Miniatures in Sweden.

You can paint it as any normal miniature, no need to wash it beforehand. It is delivered unpainted.

Usable for dioarama, wargaming or tabletop role-playing games, such as Dungeon and Dragons, Warhammer, Pathfinder and so on. Also great as decor in your home if you order the large scales. We can always transform any model into a bust if you like, please contact us.

Due to the inherit nature of 3D printing the miniatures might contain imperfections and could require additional cleanup where the support have been; use sand paper or green putty for example. Print layers will sometimes be visable.

3D resin is brittle, even if we use a mixture than makes it more flexible. However it cannot be compared with the normal plastic that is used for example Warhammer, Marx or Conte miniatures. Handle the 3D prints with care, a fall can break them. Glue info here.
