Whats the Units Name?? British Venus 1888 Attack Buggies
« on: October 12, 2019, 08:17:14 PM »
Hi Folks,

Finally made the crews for the attack Buggies in my Venus 1888 Range. Looking for a cool unit name.

I love the crazy one lighting Hales Rockets (On Venus it is rare for electrical ignition to work because of the humidity) The steering chains have not made it on yet.

 Process of elimination: if they dismount, they are technically Dragoons, if they fight from their steam carriages then they are Steam Heavy Cavalry; Obviously NOT Lancers, maybe Hussars ?

Officially: "Princess Beatrice's Own Experimental Mechanised Steam Hussars"

Unofficially: "Beatrice's Boilers"

Just an idea

PS Joe is Annie Norman in UK going to be stocking these? My original hoard from the kickstarter is unpainted yet but not forgotten!

If they are a British unit I would possibly consider something including Brough, Triumph, or Wasp?
For a German unit possibly Zundapp?

Looking at the crews they look a bit "informal" for British or German, so may the be Italians on Ducattis?

Woman's Auxiliary cavalry, (Steam)…..WACS.

Or were you asking about what to name each vehicle?

Whatever you call them they are inspirational.
