1920's soldiers

Would miniatures from WWI be out of place for 20's era US and British soldiers?

Not for the Americans, certainly. Not sure about the Brits, but I doubt it.

Does anyone make 20's era troops? Brigade has the US Marines in their Caribbean range but I was hoping to use regular infantry

Sorry, what I mean is that "no, should be no problem"... in other words, WW1 troops are fine.

As for actual 1920s figs, the only guys I'm aware of are Pulp, whose troops are in light kit, and the Brigade Games "Caribbean Empires" range. Your best bet would be the WW1 stuff.

I probably misread it.

I'll pin some figs onto my Brigade order then :-)

Thanks

I am using WW1 British in the caps, not helmets for 1920s soldiers.  From some information given to me in forums, the only difference was the colour of the boots at the time.

 There is also the Musketeer Miniatures range of interwar Brits that you can use.

And they also have a great selection of figs that can be used for armed civilians or irregulars
