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,

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.

thanks Nick...........
the Spanish style unofrms
transitioned into spectacular
Mexican uniforms..eg the

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? ???

Matakakea...........thanks for your input and kind comments
who doesnt love a Spanish Hussar....methinks im wandering
into the Napoleonic period with these chaps,,,,still interesting
idea..........if you have a picture or other info..happy to absorb!! ;)
