Hotchkiss mountain gun (4th Oct, 2004)

aaglo · Oct 4, 2004

Hi,
here is a light 1.67 inch mountain gun from the United States. If I understood correctly, this gun was in use during the american civil war. But if not, I'm not going to lose my sleep for it

Here are the files:

First! Excellent graphics, Mr. Master Chief Gunner Sir!

I guess I just caught this one. Looks very nice, like all of your previous artillery. I like the look in the guy's eyes in the pedia pic. Very determined.

Give me guns, lots of GUNS

Great,as always!!

Love the 'stache on the operator!

Lovely little cannon you got there... Although perhaps the guy shouldn't stand right behind it... It's my understanding that they kick a bit

Ozymandias · Oct 4, 2004

A true and welcome beauty -- any chance you might be convinced to do a mitrailleuse?

Best,

Oz

It seems that the gunner handles the kick quite well

- afterall, it's only 1.67 inch gun ( = tiny). And besides, he doesn't actually stand behind it... :crazyeye:

Umm... typing mitrailleuse in [google image search], I get almost all types of artillery and machine guns ever created. But I think I'll concentrate on something different for a while

The mitrailleuse in question was the French "machine gun" of the Franco-Prussian war, with two (?) rows of horizontal barrels, one above the other. They were deployed like artillery, i.e., ineffectually.

... And might we wonder what that "something different" might be?

why not create the paddle war-galley concept created by leonardo di venci?

Intresting. Weird like some other French weapons of the time but still....

Please let it be the constitution, the oldest commissioned warship in the world. :mischief:

Agree, Mitrailleuse would be great... Gatling machine gun would be great too. Few photos to help:

Here's the mitrailleuse:

Another Fine Cannon that can be put to good use. :goodjob:

I hope that means "something different from cannons", not "something different from Civ 3"

BTW, Nice unit! :goodjob:

Goldflash · Oct 5, 2004

I hope that means 'Warhammer 40K Units'.....

thestonesfan · Oct 5, 2004

He means the modern 105mm Howitzer.

Dom Pedro II · Oct 5, 2004

While a Gatling Gun would be cool, what I'd really like is a Coffee Mill Gun, which is a single-barreled "machine gun" from the early part of the Civil War.

Risbinroch · Oct 5, 2004

Gatling gun would be fantastic, could then upgrade to the ptw machinegunners...

And Aaglo, what do you mean by something different? Different kind of units, different from units...?

If different units, what about more of the fictional flavor units you have done with so much success...

Oh and this cannon off course looks great, don't have to check it neither, as long as it got the Aaglo brand/name, you know it will be great

Mr. Will · Oct 6, 2004

A gatling gun is desperately needed, I'm putting my weight behind that.

Thank you Aaglo! I love it when I see units I requested finished! It looks great.
(Runs off to base a scenario around it.)
Thanks!

spincrus · Oct 6, 2004

I'm for two different units; a mitrailleuse and a gatling; both for the WWI era. They'd be great, oh yeah they would be great...
