ACW18 Union caisson vs ACW19 Confederate caisson kits

Post by Chromedome »

Am I missing something or is ACW18 USA caisson just another limbered cannon? ACW19 CSA caisson shows a caisson without a cannon as in my Civil War history reference.

Caissons

Both are caissons. One has a crew with Slouch Hats, one with Kepis. Neither has a gun. The ACW18 pic is of a limbered cannon and is incorrect.

Thank you for your reply ACWBill, unfortunately, I had ordered two ACW18's caissons and what I got was two more limbered cannon labeled as caissons. Wasn't sure if it was me or GHQ. I will have to query them on what is going on. Again thanks.

Odd, that is not what I have in my ACW18 packs. Maybe they looked at the pics before they shipped?
