No? I didn't think so. |

SYW Prussian dragoons with the muskets cut down are your best bet at the moment. I think Alan Perry has said he will make some, but when is another question. I would imagine Fife & Drum would be keen to include them in their Philadelphia-based AWI range. |

Seems like nothing has been released by Perry, Fife & Drum or Kings Mountain in a long time. |

So weren't they mounted just to get somewhere, dismount and fight on foot? I seem to recall Ewald was mounted at some point due to an injury. |

Very true. And that is why I want mounted figures. The 7th Cavalry were dismounted at the Last Stand, but that's no reason to not have mounted cavalry. I have been doing a lot of 1:1 AWI gaming lately, and they would come in handy in this situation. |

John, Although not compatible size-wise with more modern figures, and hard to find, are the Custom Cast mounted figures carrying a saber with a slung musket and wearing a tricorn. I use mine as a small unit of Tory dragoons. Second picture in this blog post. link And if anyone has four extras they are willing to sell, I can use them to bring the unit up to my standard cavalry unit strength of 18 figures. Jim |

I used to have a lot of those figures but like you said they are too small to fit in with today's ranges. |

I just give mine coconuts. :-) |

Daaah! Na nit na nah! Na nit na nah! Na nit na nah! That will have to do until I get the right figures. |

I painted MINIFIGs 25mm Spanish Napoleonic line cavalry figures as AWI mounted Hessian jaegers.
Since they are a skirmishing unit, the difference in size with 28mm figures in line units is not too noticeable on the tabletop. |

Well, that's an idea John. Hainna? Eric |
