I guessed 1/72. Plenty useful for the Old West. |

I like Mexican Revolution stuff. My grandfather was probably the only New Zealander there. Was there about 1916-20. |

^^^ That would be a fascinating journal. |
| dBerczerk | 06 Feb 2014 3:25 p.m. PST |
Those would be useful in 1/32 scale. |

^^^ That would be a fascinating journal. I wish. All we know is snippets that he told my father when he was drunk. He went there at 16 to break horses and ended up coming home a communist/pacifist. When my father joined the cadets at 14, Grandad threw him out of their house. |

I have always wanted to run a game in this arena. My grand-father was also there with First Tenessee Infantry. I have his old 55th Field Artillery Brigade's book from his unit's service with the AEF in France which includes some history of their Mexican Border duties before being nationalized. So of course, when I do this I will have to have a US Band Corporal with his silver Cornet and a Springfield so he can bugle while he tries to give Pancho the "what for" ;-) Anyone know of US WWI band minis in 28mm to go with these lads?

Brian Smaller is your grandfather Bernard Cyril Freyberg? Commander of allied forces on Crete among other things. According to Wikipedia
"Freyberg left New Zealand in March 1914. Records exist of him in San Francisco and in Mexico, where he may have taken part in the civil war then raging in that country, reportedly becoming a captain under Pancho Villa. Upon hearing of the outbreak of war in Europe in August 1914, he travelled to England via Los Angeles (where he won a swimming competition) and New York (where he won a prizefight), to earn money to cross the United States and the Atlantic." These are very nice looking figures but with the lack of bolt action rifles and so many pistols, I would use then more for western gunfights -- Magnificent Seven stuff. These are 1/72 scale so not sure 28mm would go with these. If you want that scale go for both sides with Old Glory. Smaller, classic 25 scale, were done by Frontier Miniatures. Very nice range of both sides. Who makes these now? |

They are made by Hagen-Miniatures and are scale 1/72 (true 25mm). hagen-miniatures.de Does anybody know where the Frontier miniatures are available? Other figures that would go with this range are Raventhorpe and Jacklex (the latter available from Spencer Smith). cheers

I have some of the old Frontier figures; very nice? Pretty crude actually, but they would certainly add variety to the Jacklex and Raventhorpe ranges. |

Well Variations are always useful to create bigger units. Better then static troops, all in the same pose in my humble mind:-) cheers
