No kidding. My very last AWI pack is now in its new home, one Pack of Peter Pig's light infantry to be used as my Ferguson's Rifles.
http://www.peterpig.co.uk/AWIlightinfnatryadvancing.jpgI think they'll work, still debating whether or not to cut off the bayonets since, apparently, the Ferguson weapon could accept a bayonet - need to go back and recheck sources.
Now all I have to do is paint the lot. And, please, go ahead and hold your breath while I whip right through them. Oh, wait, no, don't do that, I might want some players in my games and it just might be a little while. I guess now I really do need to put forward a final tally of figures in the collection. Certainly north of 4,000. And, yes, like the customer at the hobby shop said when I picked them up this afternoon, it's a 'little' excessive.
But, hey, what a way to celebrate the 4th of July just a tad early!
Happy, happy, joy, joy. Many a years getting to this point. Hope not so long to get them all painted. Doh!
