Um...page 164 seems to indicate that (for 25-28mm figs) the artillery is to be mounted on bases of 80mm! This seems rather excessive for things like light guns...and heavy guns...

Any chance that it's a misteak, er, mistake?

thats the size of them alright. I am using warlord 28mm and their gun and crew takes up the whole base, if you want you can probably get 2 light gun models on a single base or add in some gabions full of earth out front. Might seem big but the extra depth is nice when you put the gun model down.

I think that 30mm is sufficient for light guns, 60mm is plenty for mediums and maybe 80mm+ for reqally large heavy guns. I know ours are small 25's (older) when they actually measured them from foot to head, but really authors...80mm?...Really?

We've had no problem with it, except for the little glitch of foot not making it through. We're playing that they get the extra 5mu movement. But size-wise, it would be tricky to fit the things on anything smaller without the barrel sticking out.

Not sure how much smaller they could be for heavy guns..?

I just tried to place some of my Foundry Landsknecht guns, and they surely need all of the 80mm and will protrude a bit. Placing the GW cannons is worse. Of course the light or medium guns as provided by TAG or the Hackbut from Pro Gloria leave some room for scenery.
