Philadelphia Light Horse
« on: 07 May 2023, 10:27:51 AM »
My Philadelphia Light Horse scout the road to Princeton for General Washington.

The PLH played a pivotal role in the Trenton Campaign as scouts and messengers.
They twice dismounted and fought on foot, while protecting artillery movements.

I've based them for the afternoon thaw, which turned the roads into mud.
Fortunately for the Rebels, the temperature dropped drastically that night, allowing the roads to freeze.

Very nice.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Really nice brushwork and evocative basing, I can almost feel the weather conditions looking at them! Which manufacturer are the figures?

PBR,   The figures are Perry Continental Dragoons. The one piece, later castings.
