Title: Republic of Texas Army Units
Post by: wargamer1972 on 21 July 2012, 03:49:47 PM
Finished up flocking the first batch of my Texas Army units.    My VSF 1880 to 1899 campaign encompasses 2 rule systems thus far.  HotT/HotE for mass battles and FUBAR-VSF for skirmish.  All blogged at: http://wargamer1972.blogspot.com/ (http://wargamer1972.blogspot.com/)

HotT: First up and first in the fight a bold Texas Ranger.

HotT: Next up a battery of the Victoria Light Artillery.

FUBAR: A squad of Texas soldiers from the 1st New Braunfels Rifles.  Led by Lt. Don Gobel.

Are the bushwhackers and mounted infantry going to be painted the same as the regular infantry.

Yes for the MI, and probably the same for the Bushwhackers.  I am basing a lot of this on what little I've read, so far, about the Spanish-American War US Army.  Of course suggestions are welcome.  :)

More Texans.  A General, trumpeter, and 2 elements of infantry.
