Above the 2nd Infantry Battalion of Imperial Mexico. Not a uniform easily missed.
Two Republican regular battalions. Maybe the 3rd and 4th Regiments but I wouldn't swear to it.
My 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the French Foreign Legion.
I have seen illustrations of these with white, red(line infantry) or pale blue trousers.
I chose to go with pale blue (chasseur colour) for one. I suspect in actuality all of those colours were worn.
I'm not really sure who these fellows are supposed to be. Dismounted cavalry for sure. They all carry a picket pin for their horses. I have painted them as Rurales which they may indeed be. They are Minifigs. Luckily I have saddled standing horses to go with them.
I think there will be one more Maximilian post in this phase. Then I will have to wait for Little Corporal to fully list the range.
Beautiful painted minis!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal.
DeleteMore excellent additions OB - I had to laugh at "Not a uniform easily missed." - sounds like a unit to avoid serving in LOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith. You have to think the casualties would have been high.
DeleteNice looking units.
ReplyDeleteThank you Richard.
DeleteGreat additions OB and the 2nd Infantry Battalion's uniform is indeed not easily missed but an absolute cracker!
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie. Yeah, I had to paint it.
DeleteLovely additions and I'm sure you're right, every colour of trousers were not doubt worn!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain. It seems the French ended up providing all of their allies with clothing.
DeleteLovely figures
ReplyDeleteMinifigs Rurales ...I've got some firing figures in the odds box
Just enough for a regiment thanks for the idea
Will Geoff be back in business soon ?
I'd lack some foreign legion and conta guerillas

Thanks, and for the confirmation on the Rurales too.
DeleteGeoff has placed his FK ranges with The Little Corporal. They are open for business with the Maximillian Range. I ordered some this week so you should be ok.
Also where do you get the flags ?
