Argentine Infantry

Yesterday I completed unit number five of what will be eight Argentine infantry battalions for the Great Paraguayan War. Well the number will increase above eight if the Perrys cunningly release more Argentine codes like the Legion Militaire.


This one is the 6th Battalion, with its green facings and the last one I will do in the blue uniforms - the remaining units will be in tropical kit (Legion Militaire excepted).



Next up is another Brazilian unit, this time in tropical uniform.

  3. Nice! This sure looks like a French chasseur uniform from 1870.

    1. You are right, but much simpler than their French counterparts.
