However, if you look closely, you will see that the sword is still in its scabbard, so you don't have to put a sword in its hand. Only the French cavalry and Prussian cuirassiers and the British horse regts charging require sword attachment.<BR/><BR/>Keep an eye out for the Minden Miniatures range of figures. Eventually Frank Hammond will add cavalry and these figures should fit in very well with RSM figures.Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-35531592552727073822008-12-14T14:36:00.000-06:002008-12-14T14:36:00.000-06:00DAF: thanks for the information - looking forward ...<B>DAF</B>: thanks for the information - looking forward to discovering them in their colored flesh!<BR/>Will one day Milady de Winter use a <A HREF="http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=118590" REL="nofollow">war balloon</A>?<BR/><BR/><B><I>Anonymous</I> "the other Jim" - Wright</B>: for all <I>aficionados</I> of 'tricorne' Imagi-Nations, it's really too bad we can't enjoy your work!

The infantry and artillery covers everything I will need.<BR/><BR/>The cavalry covers just about everything. What I don't like about most of the RSM cavalry figures is attaching swords and bending arms, etc.<BR/><BR/>Can you recommend a figure line and maybe a specific figure for a generic trooper in tricorne with a cast on saber, not charging, that goes well with the RSM figures. I'll be using RSM Hussars and Cuirassiers. Just looking for a regiment of "Horse" trooper as "elegant" as the RSM figures.<BR/><BR/>I don't have a blog or Google Id, so this coming is as anonymous. You can reply here or directly to me at jimw31@cox.net<BR/><BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Jim Wright<BR/>Phoenix, AZ, USA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-14251864095553379122008-12-13T09:56:00.000-06:002008-12-13T09:56:00.000-06:00I plan on using the Crusader Bosniaks in post SYW ...I plan on using the Crusader Bosniaks in post SYW uniform for Lady de Winter's mounted guard. They will be dressed in black with red facings. Shabraques will be black with red van dyking on the edges. Lance pennons will be black and white. These are nice looking figures so I probably won't do Black Dragoons.
