Two very nice entries.

Steve, though I'm willing to bet it's a camera thing, it sure would be nice if you could get in a lot closer to those wonderful minis.

I like those figures Steve! Who makes them? It’s a bit hard to tell scale on them from the pics are they 15mm or 25? I need some Cav like that for my "Gaslight" victorian Sci Fi games!  :-* Mine are the typical "Old Glory" lumps but with some work I think they come out ok, besides if you are building forces for the "Boxer" rebellion sometimes it’s the only choice! A few people asked if the flag was "paper"...lol? No its copper sheet, painted, and with slight folds that give the slight distortion in the rays. The "rayed" flag is normally used by the Japanese navy and the Army used the plain "Meatball" but during this period the Japanese army used their own version of the rayed flag. The "Army’s" version had the red disk "centered" and the Navy version had the "meatball" slightly closer to the shaft or "flagpole"

I believe they are from Brigade Games.

Who makes the Japanese Cavalry?

My Japanese are "Old Glory" 25's. As with most "Old Glory" they are very rough casting wise, but they are cheap, have a lot of poses, and many times the only figures of that particular period or nationality made :'(. So if you are build large wargame units they are a good choice.  ;)

I still have not mastered the photo/web technology - I actually have a nice copy of the photo but must have over-reduced it when I sent it in!

I'm not normally so technologocally challenged  :?

I shall get my tech assistant (youngest son) to do it for me next week.

The figures are indeed from Brigade - part of their lovely WW1 in Africa range
