July 2022 Expeditionary Force Canadian
54 CND 03  Canadian Light Dragoons (War of 1812)
The set contains 5 model soldiers comprising 1 officer and 4 troopers, plus 5 horse models. The heads and arms are interchangeable to enable the assembly of different postures. Although there are no massed cavalry battle actions in the War of 1812, the transportation mode of the period requires the availability of horse soldiers for many field operations. The Canadian Light Dragoons are issued with sabers and pistols, but not carbines.
 
July 2022 Expeditionary Force
Their uniforms are those of pre-1812 British Light Dragoons with Tarleton helmets and laced jackets, except that the men are often depicted as wearing only roundabout jackets. Only the officer wears the laced jacket.
 
We choose to do a set of Canadian cavalry to complete the range of troop types for the period.

Other Canadian sets include CND 02 Voltiguers (the above photo is a work-in-progress model); CND 04 Provincial Artillery (= Royal Artillery in stove-pipe shako), and CND 06 Royal Navy. We may add a Congreve rocket set to the series.

54 PNF 06  French Garrison Infantry (Guerrilla Actions in Spain, 1810)The set contains 9 model soldiers comprising 1 officer and 8 infantrymen. The heads and arms are interchangeable to enable the assembly of different postures. Except for the heads, most of these models are those already issued under 54 AMR 05 Scott’s Brigade box-set. The Spanish climate as well as the tedious routines of garrison duties along the long supply lines meant that the French, German or Italian soldiers would be wearing only their shell jackets and the distinctive bonnet de police.
 
These models could also be used as Mexican militia infantry for the Alamo campaign.
 
French officer
An option for the officer to be wearing a bicorne is provided in the set.
 
(The set was designed for 1812 Scott’s Brigade but we soon realized that the models could be easily converted for Spanish Guerrilla wars 1808-1814 as well as the Mexican militia of 1836. For those who have no interest in 1812, these other periods might be of interest.)
pirate
pirates with muskets
The pirates may also be used as Spanish guerrillas.
Escort cavalry
54 PNF 07  French Escort Cavalry (Guerrilla Actions in Spain, 1810)The set contains 5 model soldiers comprising of 1 officer and 4 troopers, plus 5 horse models. The heads and arms are interchangeable to enable the assembly of different postures. French supply lines in Spain are under constant threat by the Spanish insurgents and numerous actions are fought. Various cavalry and improvised mounted infantry units are needed to keep the lines open. These troopers would be wearing fatigue uniforms. It is a popular feature of French light cavalry to wear a rolled coat over their shoulders as added protection against sword cuts.
Cavalry
We will round this series up with artillery and a command set.
 
Spanish irregular troops will be covered in due course.
 

Texian Infantry

July 2022 Expeditionary Force Texian
54 TXN 01  Texian Infantry (1836)
The set contains 9 model soldiers comprising of 1 officer and 8 infantrymen. The heads and arms are interchangeable to enable the assembly of different postures. Note that except for the officer and heads, most of these models are those already issued under 54 AMR 05 Scott’s Brigade box-set.
 
(Being a collector myself, there is often the desire to convert certain models into a slightly different period. To accommodate such requests and to minimize our warehouse having to deal with loose parts shipping. We choose to simply extra-sculpt and  include the required parts and options as we see appropriate.)
 
The models of this set can be used as British soldiers in the early Cape wars and other colonial actions.
pin wheel
54 TXN 01-PW  Texian Infantry (Pinwheel Cap)
The set contains the same 9 model soldiers as above, comprising of 1 officer and 8 infantrymen. The heads and arms are interchangeable to enable the assembly of different postures. The pinwheel forage cap is issued in the US army in 1825 before it is replaced in 1833. Many American volunteer units in the Texas revolution of 1835-1836 would have dressed with army surplus.
Foldable cap
54 TXN 01-FL  Texian Infantry (Foldable Leather Cap)
The set contains the same 9 model soldiers as above, comprising of 1 officer and 8 infantrymen. The heads and arms are interchangeable to enable the assembly of different postures. The foldable leather cap is issued in the US army in 1833 before it is replaced in 1839. Many American volunteer (deserter) units in the Texas revolution of 1835-1836 would have been dressed as such. Their unshaven appearance is intentional.

54 TXN 02  Texian Cavalry (1836)
The set contains 5 model soldiers comprising 1 officer and 4 troopers, plus 5 horse models. The heads and arms are interchangeable to enable the assembly of different postures. This set is designed to supplement the Texian infantry sets above. The troopers are supplied with a carbine.
 
Many models from our Napoleonic French series can be used as Mexican soldiers of the Alamo period.

    What would be the point of using the Texans as British for the cape wars when there is no Māori opponents?

      There weren’t any Maoris in The Cape of South Africa eh,Did you go to an American High School??LOL

      • Everett Atwater says:

        Thanks for correcting me, I was thinking of the East cape wars, lots of capes out there.

      • Everett Atwater says:

        You also did not need to be so very rude; the cape war Ex force is referring to is also known as the Xhosa Wars which is what I know it by.
