Title: An Australian problem
Post by: chrishanley on 27 December 2017, 04:15:46 PM
Can anyone tell me the difference between the standard Australian infantry ME2 and Dismounted Australian Cavalry ME4 in the World War 1 Middle East range?
I am actually looking to convert the machine gun team ME9/10 into bush hatted 14th Army Vickers teams.
Many thanks and Happy New Year to all
Chris

From wargames distance the most obvious difference should be a small plume on the side of the hat. Not sure if Australian cavalry were accoutred like their British counterparts with the 1903 leather bandolier across the left shoulder.

The dismounted Australians have the leather bandolier which is the main difference, the plume is on the hat is also noticeable

Many thanks for the help, Although the plume and the bandelier could succumb to a scalpel and needle file, the regular Australians sound like the better option.
All I need to do is wait for the Casting Elves to return to the Pendraken forge.
