I think korsun0 may have been talking about the First City Troop of Cleveland, Ohio,1877-1881. 😆 |

H G Wells engaged the tripods with horse artillery: War of the Worlds – Chapter 12 Later on he comes across a deployed battery – crew and horses – all killed in neat lines. |

korsunO I have been looking for obscure units that wore unusual uniforms or had odd equipment for my various War of the Worlds armies. ochion, yes, I am converting these French Napoleonic figures into an American unit. There are a few of these Napoleonic themed units still in service today in the USA. The link it the link to my blog, where I explain who these troops will become. Yes, Stoppage, the book is great and horse artillery got at least one war machine. The Osprey Book War of the Worlds: The Anglo-Martian War of 1895 (Dark Osprey) has lots of wargame potential. Thanks for reading everyone! Mike Bunkermeister Creek
