Crimean war

[Fingerspitzengefühl]

Hi all

New to 10mm and the forum
I'm looking at Crimean war in 10mm
I see the current range is older than most
Anyone use proxies? 1870 Prussians or Austrians
Any thoughts for the Moscow regiment with the distinctive tall red Kepi?

Anyone have pics of them in great coats

Cheers

Welcome to the forum Mr. Fingers!
Crimean War not my area but lovely uniforms - someone should be along to give serious answers to your questions

@Ian - per rule three - glad I am no longer considered a foreigner! Most excellent!

Hello and welcome!

The French 1870 range is more or less perfect, apart from the few useful bits in the Crimean range that cover the 1850s French uniform such as taller hats. Most of us use ACW zouaves for French zouaves as they are newer sculpts.
Rest of the range I've not dealt with, yet!

Welcome from me, too. 

Cheers - Phil

Greetings, Mr ... Herr Fuhl.

Might one ask if you are actually German?

I eschew the Crimean War, after a distressing incident whilst watching "the Charge of the Light Brigade". However, someone will know something, and will undoubtedly be able to tell you all about pork pie hats and buttons and so forth.

I like tanks, me.

Willkommen, Fingers!

May we enquire as to what rules you are contemplating using for the Crimea?

Will -  Most of us use ACW zouaves for French zouaves as they are newer sculpts.

I can second that - painted some up a year or so ago, and they were lovely!

Welcome from an occasional visitor.

Glad you brought it up, subs for British Light Dragoons and Lancers at 'the Charge' would be helpful.

I'm looking at BP using 40mmx40mm with 6 Cav 10 inf or one gun per base
British bn or 2sqn Cav edgy 5 bases
Russian battalion 6 bases
Battery 3 bases
Big Russian Cav regiments 9 bases

Yes I know.......

I'm sure Chris P will pop up now I mention his name, but can I recommend Bloody Big Battles?

Full set of Crimea scenarios forming a mini-campaign, plays excellently and requires no tweaking out the box
