Barak photo Geoff King

 This gun (a 12 pounder demi culverin) was owned by the Roundhead Association. It was loud. Anyone know what happened to it?

Just a quick snip of Barak, the largest cannon of its kind sending out a massive shock wave during Pikes and Plunder, Newark 2018, an ECWS event.

30 Years War cannon

 Thanks to Steve Stanley.

This is the "Nachtigall", a replica of the entire short Kartaune - one of the largest cannons of the 30-year war. The replica was started in 1987 on the initiative of Hermann Pfeifer. The cannon barrel was made in an ironworks shop, while barrels, wheels and gaskets were made by local craftsmen and members of the group. Today, the "Nachtigall" is one of the largest replica guns of its kind. In the reel, you can see it at a demonstration.

Clarence Harrison says 

'The first codes of the new Warfare Miniatures resin models are up for PRE-ORDER in the Warfare Miniatures USA shop. These are the late 17th century "floppy hat" infantry. Over the next few days I'll be adding the British and French WSS foot and Horse (I'll announce each as they post... it's a time consuming business)!'
