I have left this too late, as I have done a mixture of both and my figures are to be undercoated tomorrow.
I accept no pennon on the lance (indeed only half have a lance anyway)
I know no shabraque, but that is so boring, so some will get a light cavalry version with pointed tail.
But that story about the conical shako. Where did that come from? I do have some from Carlist War conversions, but they still look like 1830-40's fashion. I accept armies outside France wore such (eg Portugal, Britain, Hannover, Prussia etc) but conical shakos did not appear in France for 20 years after Napoleon….surely!
I accept all the illustrators, but surely reflecting contemporary styles….1830-40s.
This one single unit adopted an experimental shako style that was not seen again for two decades…?
Next thing you'll tell me that LHO was the only gunman in Dealey Plaza that day, or that NASA really did land on the moon (actually something tells me that, maybe…oh forget it….is there any CONTEMPORARY evidence for this anachronistic outfit?
Finally PLEASE accept my apologies to those on the Fantasy Forum. I pressed the wrong button! I have tried to delete. It was an excellent wedding today….my cousin-in-law. The wine flowed.
But I am fascinated by the message on Game of Thrones. Two weeks ago in Dubrovnik took the tour and had no idea who any of these folk were, but now well into dragons and naked Kalessi etc!
goes to sea with the Terrain Mat.
