Aside from the Nordenfelt machine gun, the Cressida Rose Paddle Steamer also comes complete with a 7lb Rifled Muzzle Loading (RML) screw gun from Redoubt Miniatures. Several of these mountain guns were deployed in the Anglo-Zulu war and in the First and Second Boer Wars. Given their provenance I have painted the Royal Artillery crew in the earlier Zulu War uniforms as opposed to those worn in the later Sudan campaigns.
