M119 Question

[av8rmongo]

I posted this on the earlier thread about this new model but the recent bug didn't update and its still buried on page two - no way anyone would see it or respond so I started a new thread. Moderators - if you can fix the bug and the other thread updates to page one then feel free to eliminate this duplicate question. Anyway here's what I posted on the other thread...

Quick couple of questions for everyone here. I received my order for two packs of these guns and I am a little puzzled. The package description mentions 2/2/2 which I took to mean 2 Prime Movers/ 2 Guns Limbered for movement / 2 Guns ready for action. I was pleasantly suprised to see that there are actually 5 guns on the sprue. I can't make out any difference on the guns or trails that would indicate a distinction between limbered or unlimbered, other than where you glue the pedestal base - am I missing something? Also, I can't find any pictures of the actual gun being towed - is it towed with the barrel swung back over the trails or straight out?

If there is no distinction and I can field 10 guns that would make me happy. http://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/docs/bnE036AA.htm tells me there are six guns per battery which would leave the other four for my Brits I guess. Anyone know the British fielding plan?
