Well if they aren't then the Pontifical Zouaves just won't be fielded!

Serves you rigth for picking such an obscure force, you should have stuck with Brits or Prussians lol

Yes you read that right, South American figures with rifles wearing nothing but a loincloth and a Kepi. Add in a figure from a dressed pack as the 'respected' unit leader and I think we have a winner!

Dang that could be useful either "intact" or with head swaps or weapons swaps or Green-stuff modifications...

Or French - why is it that people prefer doing Prussians to French, when the French were far more active around the world an one of our main sources of inspiration (Jules Verne) was French?

Or Japanese - but then again there are ate least 3 of us LAFers in the UK with Japanese armies
