After buying the set of Edmund's Sussex Light Dragoons, I came across another set that was being sold at a very reasonable price. The seller was on vacation when I bought them and it took a couple weeks to get them. The collection is of Iron Brigade bandsmen.

A very nice purchase indeed.
ReplyDeleteNice figures, although not very useful for wargames. Still, if I was ever to get enough of these figures for wargaming they would find their way on the the field of battle.

ReplyDeleteIn these vintage Featherstone rules for ACW there is a section on the morale improvement of the nearby military band in Wargames - no doubt many Airfix guards Colour party / bands were converted from busby to kepi for this.

If I was a rich man I would buy up these figures and use them for wargaming. They have bands for both sides and I could see them playing the armies in to battle. With my Peter Laing Victorian figures I was going to use my bandsmen in my games.
