some subjects of the range had to be completed..for example the Méharistes have been  provided with command, foot soldiers but not the essential camel mounted versions...among "to be soon available" on the last list he send me they were interesting types like "horse mounted Touaregs"...i also corresponded with him..(i'm behind the idea of the Mèharistes) suggesting him to design some proper historically ennemies  for the Légion...that could'nt be the Touaregs who were inhabitant of the deep Sahara Desert..but better the Moroccans ..foot or horse mounted..in fact Légionaires, together with Algérian Tirailleurs and Disciplnaires Battaillon d'Afrique , were a static infantry tasked with the defence or even the constrution of border posts/forts or, at best, with their Compagnies Montées,  to escort small range caravans   or larger ones once they had approached the Moroccan border.

Yes from what I've gathered the Legion and the Tuaregs never met in battle.Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes I've bought Crann Tara Minis as I like the style of the figures which is excellent.

Didnt Richard do a range of Morrocan Riffs for another company? I seem to remember these were designed to fight the Spanish in the 20's.
