Looking for 1790-1820 US sailors and marines in 28mm for ship board and cutting out skirmish gaming. I have the Brigade miniatures for the British and French sailors but would like to get a few more of those nations of something comparable to round out my units, particularly the French which are sparse.
Additionally what did French marines use for uniform? What was this branch of service named? The Marin, such as in the imp. Garde were, if i understand it correctly, sailors and fortress troops converted into land battalions of standard infantry, not sea-bourne, and had little to do with the roles the British or American Marine units had. How did the French handle it?
I would also like to find Spanish sailors/marines and Mediterranean corsairs in early 19th century garb (which might not really be that different from 17th century in North Africa, no?) I really like the Old Man Miniatures Greeks and Ottomans and plan on buying some of them.
Following up i would also be interested in sailors and marines figures from the period 1820-1855 in 28mm for some gothic horror gaming.
