New Plains War Indians!

[Nosher]

Pony Wars.

Looks very much like its OOP but thanks for the heads up

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Try Cavelier books or QRF...

[nikharwood]

Had enough of smoking tanks Nik

Yeah mate - smoking's bad for you apparently 

I just have fond, nostalgic memories of playing this with Airfix / Matchbox [?] figures when I was in my formative years...it'd be cool to do...

[Leon]

After the preview of the first lot of mounted figures last month, here's the bulk of the rest of the range:

More mounted types:



A variety of foot, with club, pistol, knife and rifles:



Some native folk, women and children:



And finally, a teepee!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Looking great!

[Dickie255]

Excellent! I'll put them on the Christmas wish list

[General Bt Sherman]

Looking good

[sunjester]

Very nice, but I can really do with not being tempted into another new period!

[Leon]

Dave wants to do some Indian casualty markers, essentially massacred women and children... I'm not so sure... 

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Not too PC, but would be useful.

Not a great idea... sorry! Combatants yes, think this maybe a step too far. 

[Leon]

Yeah, hence my reservations!  He said we can balance it out with a Custer casualty...

[Sandinista]

Well it was less of a war and more of a genocide

[Leon]

We may be heading into political territory now I think...

Quick everyone, look at the teepee!

[Rob]

MMM nice stitching!  

[GordonY]

Yeah the one and only war the yanks ever won on their own.

Basically an industrial nation vs what was basically a culture just out of the stone age. Fair contest, really?

As a period it has all the appeal of yogurt 3 months past its sell by date, I think I'll pass.

However, thinking about it Souix (spelling?) vs Apache might be interesting.

[Nav]

any plan for an updated us cavalry list as I live in Arizona and I love cavalry and indians and material is all around for dioramas

[FierceKitty]

I know a lot of Southerners who'd punch you in the teeth for claiming that.

That would be because they suffer from the common colonial misunderstanding of the English language.

They believe that the words "Yank" or  Yankee" refer to persons born north of the Mason-Dixon Line, whereas we Brits realise that correct use of the word is to refer to anyone from the United States of America!

Which is why, to avoid confusion I tend to use the term 'Colonials'*.   

'Yank' has always sounded far too foreign a word for my liking...hehe...

It's unfortunately true though that our Colonial cousins get very tetchy when we point out they've never actually won a war on their own. 

They also go a bit purple in the face when, without denigrating their effort and sacrifice, you point out that their soldiers aren't actually that good and never really have moved beyond the 'militia' phase.  I guess that's why they've always put their store in technology and logistics rather than fighting quality.

*Ducks back below the parapet*

However, onto the OP - lovely figures! 

Like others though I share the reservations (no pun intended) concerning the sensitivities around this particular conflict. 
Which 'battles' would you fight with these figures?!?



*A term in fact that can be readily applied to anyone from the parts of the world we used to run.
