I'm all for imagi-nations peopled and led by fictitious characters. However, Lt. Nadezhda A. Durova was a real person, an officer in thre Czar's light cavalry who fought at Borodino. Why misuse her good name for a fantasy character in a silly dress and hairdo? |

I understand. Yet, had an explicit reference and a link to a biography be provided, it could had be taken as a homage and a way to have a largely ignored character better known / popularized en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durova.
For instance, *under the same conditions*, if for Victorian Gothic Horror / Victorian Science Fiction games such as 'Empire of the Dead' and 'In Her Majesty's Name' where players can field 'companies' of 'displaced' historical inspiration -from the Fenians to the Thule-Gesellschaft- I'd not mind if manufacturers made (good!) miniatures of Louise Michel link and the women who fought during the siege of Paris by Thiers, the Versailles Butcher.
