Totally missed these!

Examples of some of the Paraguayan cavalry:


And some examples of the Triple Alliance Allied cavalry coming up:

This looks extremely bad for my finances.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

It's okay, you don't need to buy an OpFor, we're both in Melbourne. I'll get the Brazilians and you can get the Paraguayans... or the Argentinians...

My first batch of Paraguayans and Brazilians have arrived, prepped adn started to be painted and now the cav hot on their heels are the perfect reinforcements.

Oh I like those.

Not for this conflict but I could use a few for 2nd Empire French and some Roman Republic cav.

Despite my daughter having an Argentine godmother, I shall be largely eschewing an Argentine force. One tries not to encourage them. ;)

Actually, I was thinking of using the plastic Union infantry for a battalion of Argentine infantry in tropical kit. I only need a battalion’s worth for late war.

I’m a little surprised they didn’t go with gaucho styled cavalry first off, no doubt they are in the pipeline. Of course one doesn’t really wish to encourage gauchos either, they usually vote the wrong way. I’ll be truly fucked by the time they get around to the Voluntarios da Patria.

What are you basing yours for? I’m thinking singly and then using sabots so I can switch between Sharpe Practice and Volley & Bayonet at the other end of the scale.

By the by, two bits of news. I have convinced Nic at Eureka to cast up some more of the 68 pdr gun barrels so I can do Curupaty and I have been in contact with Nuno of Kingscarbine and his figures will be available again later this month.

Good work on Eureka and Kingscarbine Carlos.  ;)

I'm doing single based. I did up the Rebels and Patriots lists (link below) for a 'dive in quick' style game but am looking at the new Muskets and Tomahawks V2 as a possible contender as well, given it is now exclusively a black powder rules set and not just for the FIW/AWI period as per the 1st edition.

I'll be doing MnT2 lists on my blog once the rules are released.

Cheers

Single based. I imagine I'll get around 24-30 infantry and 6-12 cavalry to start off with.

Firescale Whack can confirm - but I think we were thinking Rebels and Patriots - but I suspect we will quickly move to Musket & Tomahawks as that has a lot more traction at the club we both game at.

And I now know what the cannon is that I have in a Victorian Sci-Fi tank I built, I haven't even thought of artillery for this conflict!

...well you're in luck Von Lucky! R&P lists are done on my blog...use and abuse as you choose...and I'm awaiting MnT2 so that's maybe something for you to look at as well.

Brilliant minds think alike :o ...(or small minds seldom differ  :D :D )

I'm doing mine 3 on a 60x30mm stand and units of 4 stands.

They are really nice figures. I have 2 units of each the Paraguyans and Brazilians done so far with another 6 apraguyans getting painted today.

I am very, very tempted. Maybe a small force for Muskets & Tomahawks... Nothing too big, just a few dozen of models per side. Then, I always can expand the forces at a later time.

But first thing first! I need to finish my French-Indian War forces, which are very advanced (Franco-Indians are just shy of 10 models to be finished; British I will need rangers and some Regulars, say about 20 models yet), and the Mutiny (only Hodson's Horse to finish the HEIC/Crown forces, but a lot of Indians still to paint!). Until then, I shouldn't think about starting new projects... but it is hard when so many awesome models are being released! :D
