Great idea

do you have the article in the French 'Tradition' by René Chartrand on max' Imperial army ? Nice illustrations of imperial infantry, cavalry, gendarmerie and presidiales !

I am certainly looking forward to these. I have always been interested in this period of Mexican history. I have quiet a number of the foundry figures, but really would like to build on them. Some new figures would be great.

To add on the wish-list:
1. Civilians in all shape and form
2. Irregular infantry ( useful for 1700-1800s)
3. Irregular cavalry, especially lancers
4. Contra guerillas
5. Egyptians (it seems these are already on their way :)
6. Austrians (also useful for Italian war of independence)
7. Personalities, Colonel Dupin, Danjou, Maximillian, Charlotte, Diaz, Juarez

Whatever you will finally make, please let them have the grim campaign look that for some reason fits so well with all Mexican troops :)

If they are anything like your 40mm Ged they will  be fine figures. I'll try to send the much promised photo to you soon btw.

If/when the Legion happens can we have a mix of vestes and tuniqes,headgear etc?
