Garibaldi's Wars of Liberation 28mm range coming soon from Gringo40s

[italwars]

Hello Gringo
Very interesting choice to do Risorgimento battles in which Garibaldini (just mercenary/bandits  paid by British Massons for me ) where involved..
it's a period in which some troops had been already covered by some manufactures (Foundry, Mirliton, Irregular)...what is lacking are good quality castings reprensenting troops in campaign uniform..
Neapolitans and Pontifical sported some nice uniforms..a mixture of French out dated materiel...
also, except pontifical zouaves, some particular units, well reserached, units are lacking o: Saint - Patrick Btg, Neapolitan Cacciatori, Dunne Volunteers, Légion d'Antibes, Squadriglieri, Pontifical and Neapolitan Gendarmes, Equipment and Artillery..ecc...
probably you know it but this site show practically everything on the subject:
http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgtitle_tree.cfm?title_id=773362&level=2

from years i'm building armies and researching fot the Campaiing in the South leading to Volturno Battle and above all i'm collecting evrything for the Battle of Mentana in 1867..in which the Pontifical Army ridiculised the scum of supposed to be volunteers and Piedmontese soldiers disguised as Garibaldini lead by Garibaldi and Bixio who cautiosly left the battlefield before their troops...i live not far from this battlefield and i tried to reconstruct every aspect..
if you need any info, map, or uniform source on the above mentioned topics, i'll be glad to send youero.it
my mail is: ital.wars@libero.it

And please remember his first name is spelled Giuseppe (pron.  joo-ZEP-ay) and not Guiseppi... We don't call Lincoln Abromo, right? Nor do we call Churchill Wrunton. So you can make a little effort too..

dont fancy the thirty lashes or horsehair shirt
if I get it wrong!
