Now that I have my AFV Club LeFH 18 and Tamiya Wespe I will have to crew them for action, and I just discovered that their ammo is two-part. The leFH 18 would have a crew of about 10 men with lots of ammo handlers, but in the case of the Wespe would the same loader handle both the projectile as well as the charge? And did they use some kind of rammer to push the projectile all the way into the breech, or was everything loaded by hand. Would the loader have more than one charge out of it's box ready to use, or was this a no-no? The field artillery version would probably have several projectiles and charges already laid out ready to use.
