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.
Splendid Conversions there Alan- well done. Regards. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kev, it is most therapeutic and enjoyable to do.
DeleteNice conversions , like these colourful units .
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderfully colourful.
DeleteNice looking unit Tradgardmastare; another fine re-use of old figures.
ReplyDeleteThey live to fight another day!
DeleteAllan, 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.
ReplyDeleteMichael
I look forward to seeing your next game...
DeleteNicely done indeed!
ReplyDeleteYou're depicting the "hey-day" of the volunteer movement in the USA... through the Civil War to the Spanish-American conflict. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks, they are fascinating to research and convert.
DeleteStylish conversions that would work for / complement the Herald Britain's ACW figures.
ReplyDeleteThey would indeed...
DeleteThe guy with the beer reminds me of the opening credits for “Cheers”: which my eldest has just discovered and is devouring enthusiastically.
