The siege might make the basis of a good scenario for VSF/alternate history Victorian game  :)
Well, now that you mention it...

Did they have the Met in those days? I's always assumed they were a product of the formation of the artificial urban counties back in the 70's.

I'm almost certainly wrong, though  lol

Yes, as TC says, you are a little out in your estimate. Metropolitan Police Act 1829: Robert Peel and all that, mate. Bunking off the day they did that at your school were we?  :)

Does anyone know if there's 28mm police with capes on the market? Could do with some.

Didn't artizan release some armed officers reacently, do they have capes?

One of the Eureka Policemen has a cape, as well as one of there comic Policemen although I have not got that set. The only other one I know of is the BTD Dr Who Victorian Policeman. I have the Eureka, BTD , Westwind and Blue Moon coppers, are there any more? I wish you could still get the armed Police set from Wessex.

Dixon has four in their ganster range. Also Pulp Figures has 2 or 3 sets. Another alternative is WWI British officers, the ones in long trousers not leggins or gaters. Also German WWII officers make good motorcycle cops.

 lol

See I knew I was wrong  ::)

Happily we concentrated on Medieval history rather than that new-fangled 19thC stuff, so I got my head stuffed full of Wars Of The Roses, Lambert Simnel, Perkin Warbeck, the Black Death etc.

I got better, though.
