As the figures are so good, and if the scale fits, I was wondering about building small armies from all the nations, and having what might be described as "what-if" or "fantasy" Napoleonics. What do members think, or am I speaking wargaming nonsense/treason?!!!!!!! Best Wishes Dave ImagiNations are absolutely fine! I still fondly recall The Albertine Wars which featured in several Wargamer's Digest issues. The Kingdom of Graustark vs the Commonwealth of Ruritania. The campaign battle reports were quite entertaining. And inspirational! And then there were the Ostland vs Vestland battles, which were from a not-ACW campaign. Howard

That's an impressive War of 1812 release for 54mm soldiers.

You could probably press those soft cap heads into service for the Mex-Am War.

If you are not too picky, you can use the figures in top hats as Spanish troops in the Peninsula.

ExForce may be doing a set with the short jackets of Scott's Briage for the Spanish. Not sure what heads will be chosen for the set.

Interesting. The Peninsula is really underserved in 54mm.

I wonder if set "54 CND 07 Colonial Marines (Negro Infantry)" could be used for Haitian Revolution troops, maybe with a hat swap?

I'm doing the Peninsular War - mostly Victrix infantry and Ex-force cavalry. Would I get away with using some Marines and Royal Navy Landing Party mixed with my British forces?
