This is a very nice and useful group of Atlantic, Imex, Lucky Toys and Airfix figures that a fellow wargamer, Stuart Jarman, sent me for free from the USA. There are still another group of them not shown as they were used to replace a number of broken Atlantic figures after a plastic drawer decided to learn how to fly. As the figures were quite brittle some 17 of them broke in some 10 stands and were replaced by very nice Imex figures offered by Stuart Jarman. I also kept aside the Apache Atlantic figures for the future.
The idea is to use as much as possible these figures to beef up whether my fighting stands of Sioux and Cheyenne for Little Big Horn or start some vignettes to give more color to the Indian camp.
These became very handy as they are necessary for the Little big Horn squaw trail from were children and women escaped from the 7th US cavalry.
Six more fighting stands were added. The Imex figures are particularly welcome as they have a very nice archer shooting its arrows.
These two represent the suicide boys (more or less some 24 sioux and Cheyenne that vowed to die in the battle if necessary) that were apparently vital in opening holes in the lines of the 5 companies of Custer. If the same had happened at Reno´s position maybe the outcome of that particular fight could have been different.
Now a few vignettes. The idea is to give some life to the Little Big Horn big camp. These are Imex figures.
These canoes will be inside the river even if more probably in another scenario.
These Atlantic horses can be used for the herds inside the camp or to go along with dismounted warriors.
A peaceful meeting just because we need them.
Next: more Iraqi artillery
Fabulous figures. Like the use of Atlantic horses, too. Markers for the pony herd that the Crow etc scouts targeted, probably a game in itself. No Comanche at LBH as far as I am aware.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I meant Cheyenne, not Comanche. Already edited, thanks
