Superb sculpts!
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

Great sculpts and painting!

I didn't realise the U.S. forces were still using Gatling guns in 1898. Not exactly cutting edge tech at that point.

Yes, they were used both in Cuba and the Philippines. In general, US army didn't have the state of the art of weaponry in 1898 precisely

This is a great range as you have Spanish regulars for the Philippines and Cuba,Filipinos fighting for and against the Spanish and Americans.American regulars,black cavalry,rough riders,artillery (for Spanish & Filipinos too). and now some general officer personalities.I believe Cuban rebels are next and I'm sure American & Spanish Marines will be coming. We might even see some navy gunboats and sailors  down the road.This could go on for a long time.
