My only observation is that to my ignorant eye, they look to be very densely packed. MY preference is for larger bases for artillery to get more of a diorama feel.

Two thumbs up for full dress (*although of all the arms they would not likely have worn such into battle given the mess black powder makes!<br /><br />It IS really difficult to tell the 12's from the 8's, isn't it? I use 4 crew figures per base for 12's, and 3 for everything else to help make it easier to differentiate them on the tabletop. Another trick is to use the ammo boxes on the bases of the 12's only.
