Hurrah!
What sort of size are the figures Ged? A lot of the Gringo 28mm's I've had in the past are on the beefy end of the spectrum
-
Great! We need some variety on Native American tribes. Comanches will be a great addition.

Does Gringo 40s have a vendor in the U.S.?
(If so, I'm in real trouble!)
and... Comanches, arguably, versus Mongols, the finest light horse warriors to hit the battlefield.
-
Hi Billk................no vendor in the USA at present
as you say Comanches and Mongols both superb
horsemen.. :D 8) :D 8)

some notes of possible interest ref the Early Apache Spears. :D 8) :D 8)
The shaft of Native American spears were usually made with a wooden stick while the head of the spear was an arrowhead, piece of metal such as copper, or a bone that had been sharpened. Spears were a preferred weapon by many for many reasons. A spear was inexpensive to make. It was also an easy weapon to use. There was less training required to teach someone to use the spear than other weapons. They could be made quickly in mass quantities. And when used, they were often a lethal weapon.

Great to see the Spanish. Now, the other big question,
what rules would work for this early period of Indian warfare?

inkpaduta, a very good question...

You’re right they’re re the predecesors of the Presidial lancers. The low crown flat brimmed black hat is a traditional Spanish riding hat.

Very nice indeed. In the later 1700's to early 1800's the Spanish had unit of Hussars fighting the Comanche. They were equipped with an oval shield (painted in the royal coat of arms. I'm just curious as to weather or not these would on your radar? ???

I could not find any way to attach a picture to this, so I've sent an email to your Gringo 40s address. It's just a pit I couldn't also find the Miniature Wargames article (over 20 years ago) that originally bought the Texas Hussars to my attention. As they only operated for a few years from 1804 I can understand if they don't fit into your projected range. Mind you I've had it pointed out to me that they'd be easy enough to make from Perrys plastics.
In addition to the black shield in the picture I sent I've also seen another period painting depicting a brown leather shield with the cot of arms in the centre.
Of course I'm still going to need your Comanches to bash them with :D
-
Matakakea
many thanks for the illustration,,well received
most interesting...The trooper appears to be
astride a big cat skin..with spots! love the
early style Napoleonic uniform.the shields
caried by Cuera were normally five layers
of bull hide and plain,,the officers carried
the fancy-pants one with the cost of arms
of Spain..as this one has a coat of arms
against the black background hes more
officer material...but the dolman has what
appers to be gilt lace..so pribably an officer
will try and post a picture...meeting up
with the Editor of Miniature Wargames
so will ask him for a copy of the article
you mention..regards Ged www.gringo40s.com

The officers carrying the fancy shield makes more sense. Easier to paint a unit too.

indeed...striking looking unit :o
