One of the many silly legends of the AWI is the "Flying Column" raid at Bennington.
Since I have just rebased my Prinz Ludwig Dragoons on washers, I simply need to get a nice German band together.
I asked about this several years ago.
I am looking for band members, preferably Germanic looking, to join the Flying Column, so they can sneak up with cat like tread to steal horses for the dragoons.

I currently have Foundry drummers and fifers, Eureka Saxon oboists, Old Glory jaeger trumpeter.
My only requirement is that I do not have to buy any blisters with useless officers and standard bearers.
Any suggestions on figures I can buy as single figures?

I suppose I will need mounted dragoons too. grin

Foot kettle drummers would be Way Cool.

The Eureka Saxon range does a bassoonist as well as an oboist – do you alreasdy have that?

I have always admired the Frei Korps band from Wargames Foundry.

These boys could help you get the band back together again.
