We're planning to base our Sharp Practice ACW games around the Trans Mississippi theatre, or we are if I get my way, and I was thinking about building some units of Indian cavalry after Stand Watie. What figures in 28mm would work? I guess the core question is would they have had any sort of Confederate uniform items, or would they be well represented by Old West style Indian figs? |

Foundry has some Cherokee and Delaware Indians in their Old West range that fit the bill for me. I mixed them in with regular Confederate cavalry. |

As far as I know, what MSU did is your only option. |

What about US Cavalry, later period, sort of uniformed Indian Scouts? |

Well, I can't believe there aren't any dedicated figure ranges, golden age of gaming, indeed! I found a couple of pics online, it looks like they wore CSA uniform items but with some Indian exotica, feathers, long hair, etc. I guess I he way to do it would be regular cavalry and greenstuff. |

Frothers, please share those pics with me as you find them. Cherokee Braves are somewhere in the future of my line of figures. |

Thanks for the tip about Company D, I've already had my eye on his bushwhackers. ACWGamer – I just searched for Cherokee Mounted Rifles, there's a few images like this
