Ayton May 2022 18thC notes and queries

[Darklord]

Yeah I'm not really a fan of the WSS plastics. If worst comes to the worst I may have to bite the bullet and just get some metal cavalry.

[Darklord]

I'm looking at possibly bringing three brigades of infantry and one cavalry brigade, each with artillery.

[Buff Redux]

Is Warlord's plastic WSS stuff the old Wargames Factory stuff?

[Jeremy]

Yup.

They were excellent value in the old WF boxes, but WG reduced the sprues.

I like the infantry and artillery - functional I'd say - but the cavalry!!!!!!!!!

[Darklord]

Don't think I ever saw the cavalry. Was thinking of ordering some AWI dragoons from Perry Miniatures

[BaronVonWreckedoften]

The better bet, if you ask me.

Are you saying you have a problem with cavalry?

[Darklord]

What figure count would you recommend for infantry units?

[Darklord]

What cavalry would you recommend getting? I'm ideally looking at keeping my army plastic due to the fact I can't use superglue. I've been looking at the Warlord Games AWI stuff for the majority of my army.

Hello there. Long time no see.

Hmmmmm plastic cavalry.......

Well, I absolutely hate the Warlord Games Spanish Succession cavalry - it's horrible - but it's the only set I know of with tricorns. You could get a box of Napoleonic cavalry and pretend they're 18thC? In fact, I imagine there's not much difference between a Napoleonic hussar and an 18thC hussar.

Hotel Tim, clever sod, stuck a tricorn head on some Napoleonic Cuirassiers. Very smart.

Best of luck.

Would I be able to get away with having a unit of Napoleonic Polish Line Light Horse Lancers or neigh?
