Yes have the converted Jagers that  Paul did for me. Very nice job  :)

I have a cunning plan to take care of the Belgian Cyclist Carabinier battalion  ;)

we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

For cyclists one option is to use infantry with model railway "N" scale bicycles scattered on the base to represent the unit in action.

From those close-up photos they look like some of the old style metal 54mm soldiers I used to play with as a kid in the 50s.

Have been reading about Bavarians at start of WW1 in Zuber's book about the Bavarians. This mentions the use by Bavarian Landwehr and Ersatz units of the 1873 Krupp guns. Can anyone suggest a suitable proxy for these?

Have wondered about the Egyptian artillery in the Sudan range but can't be sure from the picture whether this would do. If not is there anything else?
