On the bench

I am slipping a little behind on getting a new mould done.
I have been making 3 variations to the big rocky outcrop. This is so that folk get some variation if they buy two or more. Nigel will have them out in 2 weeks time. The buyer gets a random version (I know ).

At the moment I am working on US   Mex Rev stuff.
Foot cav kneeling
Foot cav command
Hose holders
Dead US.

The foot cavalry is getting these extra packs because some players might want a whole force of US cavalry and hence will want more than one pack.

After this there are some more packs to do, but I need to move onto other pressing work too.
This is positive.
It would be bad news if there were no plans.

I am making a command base with a car and US higher command on it. Just a bit too late for the group build

Loving the sound of the rocky outcrop variants. Useful in several periods.

Also looking forward to the US Cavalry, as they will be my third force for FfM.

Thank you for the update Martin. All sounds lovely.

Cheers,

The US cavalry would be 2nd force for the game. I assume the Government and US forces were on opposite sides ? The Rocky out crops sound good too ?

The US cavalry spent plenty of time  riding around Northern Mexico looking for someone, anyone?
Carried out a few skirmishes.

Battle of Parral was the big one.
150 US cavalry involved in a fighting withdrawal from Mexican government troops.

The other one was Pancho Villa's raid on Columbus. But this was near the wars end. It was very much a raid as opposed to a battle. The US resisted well and followed up the retreating raiders too. The US cavalry used LMGs in the action.
By this time the Division of the North (Pancho villa's army) was raggedy and falling apart.

I also like the sound of the rocky outcrops. Very versatile addition to scenic items.
