this mutates into the M.O. wish thread....
that must be tedious....

anway, the colonial artillery (because there is no legion artillery for the MOD period....) should be a very useful completion (but please, if possible not again the umptieth version of the 75mm). But even more useful would be HMG sets.....
Cavalry is of course a big task, but I would like to propose Spahi in both versions, for horse and camel mounts (Meharistes).

And of course, the tirailleurs algeriens are in lack of a command group....

If it's a M.O. wish thread, then what we really need of course, are a few more of those sea dogs and swashbucklers under the Artizan label... BEST. WARGAMES. FIGURES. EVER.

Come on Mike, you know you want to

Okay, sorry, back on topic now...

After the Old West range.

Are you planning to add Gurkhas to the range too Mike?

Like I said.

Would be useful for Roberts column and the relief of Kandahar.

Separate guns and crews would be nice as they would allow us to mix and match as we please. The 75mm gun has been done to death already, though to my knowledge only Brigade Games produce the mountain canon de 65, which is quite useful for the 1900-1914 colonial campaigns, especially in Morocco.

Can I ask again now the man himself is here, British infantry not in puttees?

Oh, and for the postman to bring the figures!

Any chance or mounted troops as well? Maybe amounted and dismounted version of a few officer types and mounted /dismonted infantry...

British infantry in loose trousers without puttees do appear quite frequently on period photographs and drawings of the second Anglo-Afghan war, so they'd be a nice addition to the range.

And since I've already hijacked my own thread, may I suggest mounted Senegalese for the MOD range ? They add a nice bit of variety to the cavalry, which were mostly Chasseurs d'Afrique and Algerian spahis during the pre-1914 campaigns.
