Judging by the extension of the gun shield over the wheels I would say that this is a 105mm Gun Type 92.

Knavey, you don't give yourself the credit to which you're entitled, but one of your "OMG this game is so fubar" posts is now long overdue![;)]

Getting back on topic, that is definitely not a 25lb'er.

In fact I doubt it is a 105mmm tube either. I would be putting money on something more likely to be in the 155mm class.

Unfortunately I'm no expert in Imperial artillery so over to you guys......

Reg.

It looks like a Schneider gun. Maybe a 105 L or a 120 L. [&:]
