Basically I don't want to use the contained tokens and I find the Perrey's Generals look to senior to look as up and coming young officers to spread the Commanders displeasure at under performing brigades! So in a nutshell I am looking for model recommendations for mounted officers that don't look like generals perhaps more like captains that will go with my Perry brigades. So they don't get mixed up with the brigade commanders I was thinking of basing these on different coloured round bases . Thanks guys |

Wherever you can buy cavalry subalterns? In 28 at least you need not starting a colection of buggles and pole bearers. ( hey you can do rush lancers.) |

For Union make sure their coats are single-breasted. Double-breasted was for majors and above. |

Redoubt do this: UNION COMMAND – TWO MOUNTED OFFICER AND ONE FOOT ON STANDING HORSES WITH SINGLE BREAST JACKETS. INCLUDES VARIOUS KEPIS AND SLOUCH HEADS Code ACX16 No Photo sadly. Also Confederates Code ACX15 with a photo You can make up your own jokes from that rather odd description on their website. |

Thanks guys much appreciated. Given me food for thought. I do like the look of redoubt but I always though that they would dwarf my Perrys ? |

Not too much. I have a cavalry man of theirs as my Perry Hancock's II Corps Flag bearer, along side one of the generic Union generals they make and it looks OK. Once out on the table you don't notice he is a different make from the other two on the stand. Besides the Staff Officers are going to be dotted around the table and if there's more than three in one place, you're cheating! |
