   Thanks. I’m glad you like it. I posted a couple of pictures of this over on Eurobricks that show a bit better how the barrel and carriage go together. They are in this thread: http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/euroforum/index.php?showtopic=6411&st=15

I immediately built it when I saw it the first time (Which I never do by the way), and I use a more common brick for the three-way connection, but thanks for the thought.

   This page: http://www.americanrevolution.org/artillery.html has a pretty good explanation of the difference between morters, howitzers, and cannons. Basically a morter is a fixed piece that looks a bit like a really thick-skinned bowl or cup, a howitzer is a more mobile piece that can vary it’s angle, and a cannon is a big heavy gun, more along the lines of the standard LEGO pirate cannon.

Thanks, the site is clear in its explanation! Thanks as well to Ross (ROSCO) who explained it too. Jazzjake
