Yaegers! Another unit for Army Star Spangled

 Here is a unit for Army Star Spangled. It is the California Jaeger ( which I found referred to as yaegers in some documents) Company from the first half of the 1870s. I found these pictures on which to base the conversions below. I felt that some skirmish or light infantry were needed to be recruited. They are Britains plastics with metal replacement heads.

  4. Allan, I've got uniform details on about a dozen Californian units, but not this one..... nice find. Under my house rules Chris and I have quickly realised the need to have a skirmish screen. I started late yesterday to clear the table and distribute the terrain for our next game, using a dice to decide their position.

  5. You're depicting the "hey-day" of the volunteer movement in the USA... through the Civil War to the Spanish-American conflict. Nice work.

  6. Stylish conversions that would work for / complement the Herald Britain's ACW figures.

  7. The guy with the beer reminds me of the opening credits for “Cheers”: which my eldest has just discovered and is devouring enthusiastically.
