OK no T34s. How about my BA-6? That almost looks 18th century.

But you can have Russian 18thC cavalry in your army.

Actually, the first effort by King George to obtain foreign auxiliaries for the AWI was asking Catherine the Great if he could borrow 20,000 Cossacks.

Personally, I see no problem with having British fighting British, for example, but I'll leave that conundrum to Dave I think.

Well, that is pretty much what the AWI was, of course......

I suspect that would be fine. Mine are 3s saboted on 60x60s for skirmish order.
Iain can probably confirm the approach to light infantry and/or skirmishers in terms of the time-setting/period.

I went for 3 on the same sized base

It's a good job that Helen Mirren turned George down. Can you imagine what Mel Gibson would have done with that storyline in The Patriot?
