"Minatures of Marines in the Banana Wars uniforms?" Topic

Any suggestions? 15 or 25-8mm

This being the USMC birthday today.

Brigade Games and Pulp Figures both make suitable figures. These are 28mm.

Whoever picked up "Pass of the North" figs has them. Nick…you must remember those.

Dave, oh yes, I had quite a collection of them. Rally more correct for Mexico than the Caribbean though.

Brigade Games does the best. Woohoo!

Company B does US Army miniatures for roughly that period. However the uniforms are close enough and the weapons are spot on. The only thing missing are maybe Lewis guns.

This is an old list from when this was a hot period for me (not sure how many are still available):

Wargaming Figures (originally by Hal Thinglum, updated by Darryl R. Smith)

Brigade Games has a new line of 28mm Marines, Haitians, Sandinistas, and South American Javaros in their Caribbean Empires range.

Frontier Miniatures has (had) a very extensive line of 25mm figures for the Boxer Rebellion (1900), Spanish-American War (1898), Veracruz (1912), Pershing's Expeditionary Force (1916-1917), Moros-Filipinos, and China (1920); and 15mm figures for the Boxer Rebellion and Spanish-American War. Acquired by The Tactical Edge, however recent attempts to contact them have been for naught.

I also have two sets of rules in Word format – Paul Hinson's Banana Wars and Greg Blakes Yanks up the Yangtze. Both have been edited by me with permission from both authors. Happy to share both. Email me at preds81.ds at gmail and I will send you the files.
