These troops will obviously have different movement factors - have you already

Have you seen Armies in Plastic's mounted Cossacks?!  Someone has FINALLY done
it!  They are all armed with rifles on their backs, I'll have to do some
conversions to have Ppsh's on the backs of some, but holy crap! It's finally
been done!  I think I'll get 150 of green  and brown. I'll use the charbens
HMG guy as the HMG's for the Bn (put them in Mx recast wagons! And I'll use the
Cherilea mortar guys to provide the indirect fire. This is going to hurt the ol'
bank account some but, I've wanted this for a long time!

BS - That's a US soldier. This pic was circulated years ago. Notice the
stylized A on the PT Shirt. He's in standard issue US Army Summer PT uniform. 
The original gave the name of this guy, an E-7 if I remember correctly.  The
weapon is the M-16A2 which was still pretty common issue even amongst some
combat units, the M-4 now being standard issue for combatants now.
