Title: More Perry BIF for North America and elsewhere
Post by: Arthur on September 30, 2014, 09:40:01 PM: BIF'ing up the British presence in North America and enforcing the Queen's dominion over the rest of the world (they might even teach those pesky Maori a lesson or two - if they live to tell the tale, that is...)

Post by: huevans on October 27, 2014, 10:59:58 PM: I think those pretty hussars would have got shot to pieces by Custer's Wolverines. Assuming they found open ground to attempt a charge along the Canadian frontier to begin with.

I hope they do some gunners in the campaign uniforms, though, for my NZ Wars project.

Post by: Tym on October 28, 2014, 11:25:54 AM: This range is slowly getting to the point where I will consider buying some. Not far to go. Bit more Cavalry and Artillery.

And another personality figure for Sir Garnet, old chap! That goes without saying.

Looks like I will have to try and convert some of their plastic acw artillerymen

IIRC, Batoche was in the 80's in the 2nd Riel Rebellion. But a gatling gun would be a great idea anyway...

I am more tempted than ever to raise me some Canadians and Fenians these days!

This is the Google search for the 2nd Riel Rebellion, incl some watercolour sketches of the battles. The Canadian infantry is wearing late 19th Century uniforms and the BIF range wouldn't be suitable.

Not at all. When I was a teenager, the Riel incidents were a well known bit of Canadiana and we were taught the details in high school. I doubt many others would know there were 2 rebellions.

Hope they do some Rifles too.

Foundry or Mutineer Miniatures Indian Mutiny figures have figures in those headgear. What a cracking vignette that would make.

I am guessing that in real life, those shakos had been thrown away and the redcoats were fighting in forage caps and fatigue coats - the way the Perry's do them.
