Yes, quite true. The OG irregular cavalry would be useful as well as any figures in frockcoat. The tailed coat would be out of date by the 1860's but a few...
You are correct, Daniel. The 1870 tunic is quite a bit different from the 1865 jacket but don't you think that 1870 French infantrymen in overcoat could be...

The 1867 overcoat is not very different from the old overcoats worn by french troops. It's quite the same as que M 1858 (standing collar with red patte en ...
Thanks Daniel. So one could use 1870 French in overcoat but they would not have epaulets. Do you know if a battery of Garde horse artillery served in Mexico?...

I have a picture of a Michigan sailor from SAW and he wears a european style navy hat, the round flat top, almost beret style. When was the change to the...
I have some of the Austrian jagers both in tunic & overcoat and they are quite nice. I have looked at the 1859 French at Historicon but that was in the bag...
Yes, the flat topped stiff caps would be appropriate for full dress & the early "Dixie cup" would be for every day wear. The flat topped cap was still worn in...
Also if you have lots of units devise a scenario where there are no or only a few hidden units. I did one game where the French were strung out in a valley...
Hivemates, I just posted a file in the Colonial Battles Files section in the "Colonial Architect" folder. It's a bmp file I drew up of a bamboo wall. Please...
Matt.....These should be very useful. I downloaded a bunch of pics from the net of bamboo and was trying to figure out how to use them to do just this kind of...
Frank, the Old Glory figures are not wearing the classic Dixie Cup cover but an earlier progenitor that functioned more as a fatigue cap (it's actually what...

Matt, While you are correct, there were instances where a mooring buoy would be installed in the proximity of a pier. Ships could run a chain to the buoy for...
There was a good website but I don't think it works any more. Eureka has some nice Portuguese soldiers in khaki with slouch hats for around 1900. The Foundry...
Dave and Tom, The major difference in Larry's rules for 1777, 1862 and 1870 from most other rules is the basic mechanics. Random Movement is determined by ...
When would the red home service uniform have ceased to be worn in a European war by the British Army? Also, would they have worn a cover over the helmet, and...
I don't think that khaki serge for home use was issued until around 1903. The Guards sent a contingent to Ashanti land in the late 1890's -still in undress...
