In this (and others, honestly,) era I would like to encourage the model manufacturers to make both mounted and unmounted figures for non-grunt or "townie" characters. I have some sets so I know it is done by some makers. And yes, some will argue that many/most games start "on foot" and stay there. But there are so many good "foot" figures I have that I would like to have mounted versions for but "no joy."
I really like the Zorro Presidials, the Old Glory bought Cowboy Wars ones, and the Cuban Guerrillas from the SAW era that give the player options/decisions. There are others (Dixon has a few I think) but so many don't.
Perhaps there are financial realities that make some hesitate but please consider it where possible.
Gracias,
Glenn
