While I really like the Warlord Games take on the AWI figures (keeping little things in mind like invisible canteen straps, etc.), I did come across something today while assembling their Continental Inf box set. There seems to be a large number of figures with short cut coats identified as Light Infantry. By my count 2 officers and 8 enlisted men. My question , are you that use Warlord ignoring the belly pouch and cut down jackets and painting them up as line or sticking by the sculpt and keeping them separate as a Light unit? |

I used them as lights. I try never to argue with the sculptor. |

I painted a few light infantry figures as Armand's Legion infantry using the Washington Guard heads. I painted others as Pulaski's Legion infantry using heads from KMM. Most of the rest were given cocked hats, are painted blue faced red and are based with light infantry figures, allowing me to use them as light infantry or line infantry as needed for the Carolinas-Georgia campaign. What matters is what YOU want to do. I doubt that belly pouches were that common even among light infantry. That aside, if you wanted to mix them in with your longer coated line infantry, or if you wanted to use them as line infantry but in shorter coats, you could probably find historical precedents…or you can use them as the light infantry they are intended to be. |
