Help needed to ID these
A recent Ebay splurge netted 6 of the worst painted 15mm tanks I've ever seen and these. They are all plastic 28mm. I've got a feeling that the grey guns could be Perry ACW artillery and the others may be Warlord's WSS set but the limbers have got me baffled. I'd guess at the ACW set again but is there a piece missing for a 2nd horse? The ACW set only appears to have a central shaft.
Any information gratefully received.

Re: Help needed to ID these
My instinct is the limbers are british napoleonic, same as the bloct trail guns, being grey then makes sense.

Yes British Napoleonic but also usable for Crimean War. As for who makes them - if they are 28mm I really don’t care.

Re: Help needed to ID these
I wouldn't put much faith in the colour, the accompanying 5 Grant tanks and a Panzer III were liberally daubed in black paint.
I'm struggling to find plastic guns for either period and the only plastic limber I've found is the Perry ACW one.

Re: Help needed to ID these
The shaft arrangement on the limbers in photo #1 is standard for British Napoleonic horse teams (if you look at the Airfix Nap RHA set - yes, I know, not the last word in authenticity - the limber has the same arrangement).
