Here's the start of my 28mm 'Pony Wars' project. It's a tad bittersweet, as I'm dedicating it to my two old Companyeros, the Dynamic Dunderheads. I wargamed with them for over forty years, Cavalry and Indians was one of our most favourite periods, From Airfix, Atlantic, Britains Deetails and right through to some of these lads mustering now. Eagle eyed Scouts will spot an Airfix Cavalry fort and wrong sized Wigwams. No apologies for this, they're there because of their sentimental value, always a big thing in a John Ford Cavalry flim!
Piccys to follow.

Can't wait to see the pics. It's one of my favorite periods.

Well, that is a nice start on getting back in my good graces. But where is the action? There must be action reports. Minor harrumph.

But, yes, nice work.

Cheers has.been.
Meanwhile back on the Greasy grass. As part of mi' inspiration I've been ODing on Cavalry and Indian flims. Discounting 'Son of the Morning Star'. General Custer films are lame. Both 'Custer of the West' and 'They Died With Their Boots On' are most entertaining, but a tad daft. 'Little Big Man' is great, love the way he murders Custer! Funnily the 'Glory Guys' gives a fairly good rendering of the battle. The skirmishing Cavalry bit is really well done...
got to get me a skirmish line!

Yeah, Son of the Morning Star is a bright bulb on an otherwise dim string...
