I did a Spanish army in 15mm way back in the 1980's. it was long since sold, but I have always wanted to recreate it, althoug this army will be quite a bit smaller than the one of all those years ago.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-27285423513311203802018-11-26T06:47:05.456+13:002018-11-26T06:47:05.456+13:00What indeed can be better than yellow uniforms wit...What indeed can be better than yellow uniforms with black facings! i think there is a need for a second regiment of dragoons.

The goal is to be able to use these guys back to 1805, when they can fight the British, then go forward to 1808 as allies, then, with the addition (phase two) of a few more units in top hat and in mixed uniforms to go through to 1810. Don't forget I have a bunch of Brits in stovepipe shako from the Egyptian campaign, and I WILL be doing one or two of those flat boats for operations around the Med.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-32627230506539159312018-11-25T18:04:49.460+13:002018-11-25T18:04:49.460+13:00Thanks Jonathan.
