Gentlemen.

I am at a crossroads. I have purchased suffiecnt for my needs of WWII in the west (1940, mid war and 1944), ACW, Dark Age and War of the Roses.

I am momentariliy stymied on Ancients and Napoleonics until the dark Lord seees fit to release them to us (the horseflesh in the Pendraken lasagne). I am also bogged down in Korea seeeking suitable Chinese/North Korean infantry in summer dress. (That is a uniform suitable for warmer climes, not a floral frock. It's easy to get North Korea infantry in floral frocks.)

I am well advanced on my 1970's TV mash-up period in which zombies will battle dinosaurs who are chewing on Aliens who are being shot at by UNIT.

The question is "where now?" (First one to say "League of Ausberg" can come straight down to the fourm bar where I will not buy them a drink and then studiously ignore them.) 

I think I fancy something not too mechanised, with very few horses (I hate painting horses) but with uniforms (I hate painting non-uniforms). Something small scale, perhaps suitable for skirmishing.

Any thoughts?

How about the Williamiite Wars?

No?

Ok How about Tudor or Elizabethan..Nice period can also be used for fantasy human armies if you fancy that sort of thing

Could maybe double them up as Border Reivers as well

AWI, v few horses, lovely sculpts, only need half a dozen units a side for a decent game.

French and Indian War

Can do skirmish and smaller battles, no cavalry. Uniforms and militia and Indians. Plus the pendraken SYW and FIW are lovely.

(It's in my inbox at the mo.)

World War 1 East Africa campaign?

Not too mechanised (unless you wind up scratchbuilding some ships!), not many horses and uniformed (mostly).

AWI would be my first port of call due to great sculpts, limited cavalry and small engagements. Or how about the 2nd Schleswig-Holstein War in 1864?

I'm doing  a fair old number of new and converted 'Tudory' figures at the moment.....For a special project.
I'll try and post some pics up in the next few days.
(I've checked with the folk involved (including the Dark Lord  )...and it's fine for me to show them.)

Cool 

Boer war?

Aztecs or Teddy Bears

Now you've done it

I would second either FIW or AWI as both are reasonably small projects with the added bonus of native American indians

take care

World War I - after a trip to hospital.

AWI does seem to fit your requirements like a glove, but perhaps the Great Northern War has slightly more of the exotic to it?

Flodden fields? Hastings?
