USMC 1920's

I checked the Combined Arms Research Library to no avail, but entering your title into the search field did yield some other works that might be of interest. http://cgsc.cdmhost.com/cdm4/results.php?CISOOP1=all&CISOFIELD1=CISOSEARCHALL&CISORESTMP=%2Fcdm4%2Fresults.php&CISOVIEWTMP=%2Fcdm4%2Fitem_viewer.php&CISOMODE=grid&CISOGRID=thumbnail%2CA%2C1%3Btitle%2CA%2C1%3Bcreato%2CA%2C1%3Bdescri%2C200%2C1%3Bnone%2CA%2C0%3B20%3Btitle%2Ccreato%2Cdate%2Cnone%2Cnone&CISOBIB=title%2CA%2C1%2CN%3Bsubjec%2CA%2C0%2CN%3Bdescri%2C200%2C0%2CN%3Bnone%2CA%2C0%2CN%3Bnone%2CA%2C0%2CN%3B20%3Btitle%2Cnone%2Cnone%2Cnone%2Cnone&CISOTHUMB=20+%284x5%29%3Btitle%2Cnone%2Cnone%2Cnone%2Cnone&CISOTITLE=20%3Btitle%2Cnone%2Cnone%2Cnone%2Cnone&CISOHIERA=20%3Bsubjec%2Ctitle%2Cnone%2Cnone%2Cnone&CISOBOX1=Operations+in+Nicaragua%2C+July+1927+-+October+1928&CISOROOT=all

Thanks Carlos and Aaron for all the great information.  I just got my first figures for this project from Pulp Figures and all your assistance has shown me what pieces to get to full up my unit.  Thanks again for all the work you did in finding this info!

I very proud of Tom, he is now with the 26th MEU training for depolyment in September.  My over all project is to do a minimum USMC platoon strength unit (as correct as possible), and hostiles,for each war the Marines were in from the Revolution to present day.  I finished WW I, am completing Spanish American (the Spanish have to wait) and am starting Banana Wars.  When I'm done Tom and I will be able to skirmish at any time period he wants to when he is home on leave.

It might be a little too 'up close and personal' for him upon return but if you are covering off all the time periods for the USMC then you might want some of these:

Brigade Games do USMC for the Great War and I'm sure someone does them for the Barbary Pirates/ Shores of Tripoli era. You could even sneak in some gangster figures as you might recall that marines were deployed as guards on mail trains during the 1930s.

Good luck with the project and safe travels for your son.

Here are my first Banana War USMC troops that I have painted for this project. A section of Springfield armed Marines with a 12 gauge Trench Gun and Tommygn for support.  My next set of troops will be a Browning MG, BAR, officers and additional infantry to bring the unit up to squad strength.

[ushistoryprof]

Nothing makes you day better than more added firepower.  For my 1920's USMC detachment I added the following support. A .30 Cal Browning two Lewis guns, a Tommygun, Trench Gun and BAR.  Some serious firepower for any occasion. [/img]
