Risorgimento Briganti new minis
« on: February 10, 2018, 11:55:02 PM »
recently  see this...

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/508958143/brigands-and-bersaglieri-28-mm-by-seeadler-miniatu?ref=discovery

they look very nice..and i suppose could be  fielded with Gringo 40 minis..
i'm not in any way linked with the manufacture but they are based in my country so i 'm interested...anyway they 've just proposed "free postage" all over the World...

The mostly unknown "Civil War " in Italy after the end of the official Risorgimento..that is the conquest by Piedmont of the South of Italy find, contrary to propaganda, the rural people which was the majority of Southern population revolting against the invaders..sometime even backed by former Neapolitan soldiers still in their uniform..
from a wargame point of view is a kind a Italian North West Frontier..with Briganti (called bandittis in British litterature) sufficiently well armed and able to use at best the very rough montaneus and forrest terrain of the South vs ad hoc units formed of hand picket Bersaglieri light infantry..and sometime even Cavalry and Artillery...perfect settings for small skirmishes in difficult terrain
