Gents

just to advise as of early next year I will turn my attention
to my Maximillian range which needs cavalry/Generals et all
so im happy to take any suggestions/requests on board for
New Troop types or regiments.
as im working on Italy in 1860 this makes life a bit easier
for me as the periods run side by side.
looking forward to any feedback

Mounted and especially dismounted Chasseurs d'Afrique or other French cavalry.

Basically, any cavalry and generals as mounted/dismounted pairs. You need both for skirmish games, and there's not a lot of period dismounted cavalry.

Ged, skirmish poses for the Belgians and Egyptians (for my skirmish games obvs).
And a second for mounted and dismounted Cavalry.

Jeff965......interesting suggestion regarding the Egyptians
as that had crossed my mind...such a stunning uniform and
a crack unit to boot!

great news!

Some generic Mexican cavalry that can be deployed for either side would be a good addition - both for us gamers and for you in terms of an 'in demand' multi purpose range.

oh and a nudge on the Mexican Revolution range - Federale Cavalry would be awesome!
thanks

some great input there..................im heading down the Mexican Cavalry
route myself ...

but still mulling things over as there are some great units I can do
and yes the multi-purpose side of things is a must.

Oooh! Mexicans, cool

Rob Herrick · « **Reply #8 on:** December 02, 2015, 11:25:02 PM »

It's a bit later than the period (1889), but Frederick Remington's The Mexican Major and corresponding Mexican Cavalry would be lovely:

Definitely some generic types but it would also be nice to see more mounted contra and mule mounted Foreign legion. Great that your doing more with the Maximillian range!

gringo · « **Reply #11 on:** December 03, 2015, 11:41:46 AM »

thanks Goliad
I have been looking at the Contra,s again as I love
the mounted/dismounted side of the conflict . will
bear in mind

cheers

Maybe the Austrian legion cavalry too

.

gringo · « **Reply #13 on:** December 04, 2015, 09:24:08 AM »

Goliad

agreed the Austrian cavalry would complete the trio
I was looking at the uniforms (undress) to see if I could
do a Generic figure to cover my Garibaldi range and
Mexico........work continues!

good suggestion
cheers

Those horses on the Remington picture look very ... short.
