To: Don W; Darksheare
Two problems with your scenario DonW...
1} Where is the crew gonna ride for the towed piece?
2} Where is the ammo gonna ride.
Let's ask Darksheare since IIRC he was a redleg.

Perhaps a "B" train setup? Or a large enough crew compartment in the slightly longer (for ammo stores) SP gun?
Just asking. As I said earlier, I'm just curious. A bit ignorant re: artillery requirements too.

We're still left with the problem of hooking up the towed pieces before moving to a different location.
The major advantage to towed artillery is it's cheap..in comparison the SPs.

Spiderboy enjoyed watching the A-10 video. That got me to looking at A-10.org, Hawksmoke.com, etc. This has got to be a good illustration of GI humor.

You make good points. The ammo train is the weak point.
