  1. Tradgardmastare,

    My vote goes to the light blue uniform. Light enough for the tropics whilst still looking smart.

    All the best,

    Bob

  4. I'd go for the light blue. Seems somehow more tropical.

  6. Use all of the uniforms Alan. White for ceremonial number 1 dress, khaki for the grim business of fighting, and surely blue is the Marines who accompany Tradgardland's many river launches and gunboats, as well as manning the Gatling guns etc. Best regards. Phil

  7. The light blue tunic with the white pants and kepi look good for officers. Enlisted men would have the all blue and helmets if I were choosing.

  9. It’s got to be the blue Your Grace. White is fine for dress but will soon look dirty on campaign. The khaki is clearly for dishonourable types who want to skulk about in the dirt unobserved. The blue is both practical and smart.

  10. I like the blue. The khaki is clearly the most practical. So it has to be the white....

  12. Light blue, as they would look too much like British in khaki.

  16. Well, having already voted on FB, I'll repeat it here and add my voice for light blue. Never was one to go with what all the other countries etc were doing.
