Yep, they charged across many a floor…

I had this set and the 1/32nd scale set which were much more suited to the Indian wars. I used the 1/72nd scale for my ACW battles as well as Indian wars.
Loved them, thanks for the walk down memory lane.

This was always one of my favorite sets, I must have bought twenty or so over the years. You did a wonderful job painting them.

Very nice

Nice job!

I always assumed they were set in the 'Hollywood' period….

Raise your hand,if you ever used them against the Guards Colour Party.

I bought a set from an estate sale meaning to paint them up for nostalgia, but couldn't get infused once I'd opened up the box.

I used them as Cossacks against Bolsheviks while playing the soundtrack to Dr. Zhivago.

Happy memories. They are the ACW cavalry of choice for those of us weaned on Don Featherstone's wargame book (yup, the old green and black classic).

They, and their ilk, inspired many of us grey beards on TMP and elsewhere across the wargames firmament – how many 28mm pumpkin head ranges can say the same, even if they are "technically better" figures.

cheers Bod man – much appreciated

Have you painted that castle yet grin

Had these myself, used them in my ACW battles, fond memories!!
