The order of battle for Brier Creek 1779 includes 50 or so South Carolina Light Horse, with another 150 detached to cover river crossings etc. I've been unable to find a uniform reference for these Light Horse. Could anyone direct me to a reference for their uniform, as I'd like to represent them on the table. Thanks. |

On the VF list of uniform plates, page 7 above 2/3rds of the way down, there is reference to "South Carolina Regiment of Militia Light Horse, 1781-1782". Not sure if this is what you're looking for, and I have not seen the plate yet. PDF link |

This battle, including map and OB will be included in the Helion Military Atlas of the American Revolution to be published later this year. |

Thanks for the responses. I've also been referred to Uniformology 26, so I've bought a copy. |

Those guys are weird. Keep in mind that apart from any uniform changes, in the latter part of the AWI they're basically a headquarters element with called-up militia dragoon troops working under them, so I'd expect quite a bit of uniform variety. |

I have a bunch of Firing Line Continental dragoons that would look very nice painted up like those guys🙂 |

Problem is that Firing Line has been out of production for more than 10 years. |

@OFM, I actually have 3 units of 16 Firing Line Continental dragoons. I have had them for years. |
| John the OFM | 15 Jul 2021 3:52 p.m. PST |
Then you're a lucky man.
My 12 figure Philadelphia Light Horse are Firing Line. Awesome figures. |
