Frontier 15mm Mexican War Miniatures Part 2

 Last night I opened the Mexican cavalry. There were 15 figures that represent the 1st cavalry, with lances and leather crested helmets. There were also 15 figures with shakos and carbines representing the Mexican line cavalry.

Frontier 15mm Mexicans Part 1

 After my last post, I naturally went to check Ebay to see if there were any new Frontier Miniatures. Surprisingly, there were 2 large bags of Mexican American War Mexican Miniatures. One was infantry, the other cavalry. I know the last time I was thinking of ordering from Frontier in the 1990s, they went to selling mixed bags of infantry or cavalry, where you couldn't order just what you wanted, so I'm guessing these are from around that time.  As I'm retiring in a few weeks, I have been being careful on my spending. However, I also figured these figures could be a good long project for me, so I purchased them.

The infantry separated. I haven't got a count out yet, as I opened it right before going to bed.

Frontier 15mm French Napoleonics in Bicorne

 When I first got interested in wargaming again in the late 1990's, I dug out my old Modelers Mart catalog to order some figures. This is when I bought some Frontier War of 1812 figures. I was also looking at their early Napoleonic figures, but never bought them. I especially like their Sans Calotte figures.

Recently I saw a lot of Frontier French in bicornes. I bought them, with the idea of using the for Napoleon's Italian campaign.
