History:
Artillery played a pivotal role in the American War of Independence, shaping battles from entrenched siege lines to open-field confrontations. Both British and Continental forces relied on field artillery to disrupt enemy formations and fortifications. Crewed by trained gunners, cannons were used to devastating effect at battles such as Yorktown, Saratoga, and Monmouth. Hat Industrie’s 1/72 scale AWI Artillery set includes accurately sculpted crew members and cannon pieces suitable for use on either side of the conflict. With detailed uniforms and realistic gun designs, this set is perfect for enhancing your battlefield layouts or adding punch to your wargaming units.
