Alan Marsh would be my preference.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

BTW why is this on the modern adventures board? Even for me the 1860s are a little distant in time.

Must be a mistake. It belongs in Colonial, Big Battalions or Other, doesn't it?

Awaiting a quote. I should have more details tomorrow. My fault I've been rather busy of late.

If anyone's interested, I have some painted 15mm Paraguayan War armies for sale. See http://hereford1938.blogspot.com/p/for-sale.html for more details.

(I've also posted this in the Bazaar, so apologies for the double post!)

Geoff,

I'm currently in Brazil so it's currently on hold, I suppose you could call it research.

 I got some initial quotes from Nic and need to talk to others who wanted to go into the project.  It will depend on them. I'm not sure I can justify funding the whole project myself. If it's a goer then I'll talk with Nic, when I get back, sometime in June.

I would definately be interested in a range of figures. Many of the troop type for this and a lot of other conflicts in South America during the 19th century copy the dominant european styles of the day. A lot of the figures needed are already produced in ranges from European and/or colonial conflicts. Also ACW, Mexican/American War and the Maximillian Adventure. Maybe start out with some of the more unique troops and suggest figures that would fit in from other ranges. Also some thing like the gauchos would be useful over many periods in this region, even for the Mexican/American War and the Maximillian Adventure as irregular cavelry. The more you can tie in with other lines and other wars the more success full this will be.

The more people get involved the better. Who's interested in splitting the bill?

Could maybe some sort of "100 club" like Eureka does work? You list the references planned and people can sign up for the ones they like. Personally any generic types like gauchos would be my preference. If they would have loose heads and weapon arms the order would be bigger  ;)
