In Settling Accounts, they mention that both sides use 105's. They probably use other calibers, but the 105 is probably the most common artillery caliber for both sides.
Yeah, 105mm howitzers like the ones below right?
Again, yeah, I can see that.

Yep. As for the US 105's I think that they'd be a mix of OTL American 105's and German 105'sYeah, 105mm howitzers like the ones below right
A little of both perhaps.<snip>
By French and British guns, you mean like the British 18 per. or 25 per. guns right? Or models that would be roughly similar or even copied from the British or French?
I never seen that camo pattern before, good find and I could definitely see it being used for tropical climes. I could the USMC using it.I wonder, on the subject of camouflage, if anyone has considered this tidbit I found, one of the Nazi's less well known types, Palm Tree Pattern.
Something similar I could see being used, especially in Cuba and Haiti.
Cool! Could you post a bigger pic showing the whole outfit?My father is a WWII reenactor and collector. He has something in pretty much every camo pattern known to man prior to 2010.

Very interesting. This smock would've been perfect for paintball play at a P.B. park where I used to work at, some of the fields had a tropical feel to em and some had more brown trees and bushes on em.Its actually a pic i found showing it. Here are some others.

Isn't that exactly what the camo they wear in the art you commissioned is supposed to invoke?
Also, btw, I discovered that the "Frog Skin" camo associated with the Marines wasn't theirs alone. Apparently the 2nd Infantry Division used it in Normandy, but got rid of it quickly because other American units fired on them at times, mistaking them for Germans, due to lack of camouflage among other American units.

I'll be posting pics every now and then when a good idea comes along.Don't worry this one isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Possible, perhaps in some different colors though to match terrain in the US.Something I’ve been thinking of recently, given the relationship the CSA has with England, C.S. light infantry and special operations units wouldn’t look out of place in British Denison style smocks and camouflage, possibly becoming general issue later in the war.
