If you can’t beat them join them: Army Red/White mobilises

I was really taken by this post and subsequent ones-

I decided to see what l could mobilise between gardening tasks and whilst listening to the cricket. So here it is the Confoederatio Helvetica -
Officer commanding ( with chaplain and messenger pigeons) a company of bicycle infantry, two companies of dismounted cavalry one of which has a machine gun, six companies of infantry and a mountain gun complete with mule team.
As this is a part time army which has all soldiers practicing as members of rifle shooting clubs  ,all infantry count as sharpshooters when firing. All figures 54mm .

    What an excellent little army! Will they be joined by some fortress troops at some time in the future?

    All the best,

  4. Looks like an excellent team to see hostile intruders off the home pitch.
