I've idly noticed that people bring out ranges of female soldiers that are, well, basically fantasy. I've seen a range of 28mm Seven Years War females, a range of 28mm American Civil War female Zouaves, the Hinterland WWI and pre-WWI German ladies. Have I missed any? I'm just wondering why these wars, and no female Napoleonic Wars soldiers, or Crimean War soldiers, or Franco-Prussian War figures, at least to the best of my knowledge. Grelber |

'Cause the Dames rocked in these wars. Not so much in the others. They was oppressed. |

Eureka were going to do some females in uniform for their Pax Limpopo range (c.1900), based on some photos of Female Auxiliaries to Volunteer units in Canada and Australia. I don't know if they actually made it into production. |

Didn't Foundry do a few armed Napoleonic females ? I had one free with a WI subscription. |

They had more sense back in those days. To quote Bomber Harris "All the cities of Germany are not worth the life of one British Grenadier" to justify area bombing. We now remember and justify (Justifiably) the A bombs on Japan. Females generally have more wisdom…with exceptions. Push your units across a board and use your counters, but the reality is dismemberment, evisceration, blinding, emasculation, death after days untreated. XX chromosomes usually carry more commonsense. It ain't worth it. Two decades later we will all be friends and the survivors (or their kids) will be coming back as tourists and crawling through the same tunnels. I hate war me. Seen the end result too many times |
