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.

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

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

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!!!!!!!!!

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

Are you saying you have a problem with cavalry?

What figure count would you recommend for infantry units?

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?
