Mr Jimbibbly and Mr Rokurota, stop putting ideas into my head, does this mean I will have to buy a couple,
Looks like I will have to try and convert some of their plastic acw artillerymen

Thank god for that, didn't want to run out of things to buy, that would disasterous 

[Mr Pommeroy]

I wonder if we will see a Gatlin Gun in the future—Batoche, anyone?

Ideas in heads?

IIRC, Batoche was in the 80's in the 2nd Riel Rebellion. But a gatling gun would be a great idea anyway...

[juergen c. olk]

I love the Perry's

[Mr Pommeroy]

Huevans—of course! What an embarrassing mistake on my part. 

I am more tempted than ever to raise me some Canadians and Fenians these days!

This is the Google search for the 2nd Riel Rebellion, incl some watercolour sketches of the battles. The Canadian infantry is wearing late 19th Century uniforms and the BIF range wouldn't be suitable.

Not at all. When I was a teenager, the Riel incidents were a well known bit of Canadiana and we were taught the details in high school. I doubt many others would know there were 2 rebellions.

[Saxon Dog]

Love this range.
Hope they do some Rifles too.

Foundry or Mutineer Miniatures Indian Mutiny figures have figures in those headgear.  What a cracking vignette that would make.

I am guessing that in real life, those shakos had been thrown away and the redcoats were fighting in forage caps and fatigue coats - the way the Perry's do them.
