Hello!
Here are some pictures of the new yankees.
Greetings
Vauban

... and the equipment.
-
those will look very nice with the others. I can not wait to get many of them to add to our armies
-
They look great!
-
Cool new set; thanks for the review! It's good to see that some older themes are being revived with new sets.
-
Thanks for the pics Vauban. These look like some great soldiers.
-
From left to right: foot soldier, cavalry and artillery looks like to me ;)
-
Yeah, probably.. But shouldn't the kepi be redish too?
-
love them! Cant wait to have a few of these... Thanks for the pics

It seems to me that way too
-
Thanks for the pictures, Vauban! :)
The red trim indicates they're artillery, but the yellow chevrons indicates they're cavalry. ??? Well, at least they can be customized. I'll be purchasing a couple of these and using the left figure as a cavalry trooper in undress, the center figure as an artillery soldier, and the right figure as a musician.

thanks for the very clear pictures Vauban and everyone for your comments ;)
I'm no expert with rifles...what is the (new?) shorter rifle supposed to be? (I like to check on its earliest year of use in case its post-ACW and meaning I can only use them for my Indian Wars) :)
-
Many thanks for the pictures. I like this set very much. :love:
George. :)
-
I loved these photos - thank you for posting them! Is it bad that the first thought I had was looking at the guy on the left and thinking 'those braces would be great for a customised white-shirted 1940's guy' ;D
In answer to Justindo's comment about red trim and chevrons, perhaps they are just very mobile artillery troops? (I'm imagining them galloping up, towing their cannon... um... no...maybe not!)
-
they looking ok but personally i like the old version better.. but its my personal opinion..

The short long-gun looks to be a percussion coach gun or, in the parlance of our times, a sawed-off double-barreled shotgun. This type of shotgun would have been used during the Civil War, especially by Southern cavalry, and in the American West, especially to protect stagecoaches and in towns by Sheriffs. It's a nice addition and I will be using them for my Western theme.

thanks Justindo! I'll use them in my CS army then ;)

I know I will be ordering many of these for our western dioramas and using them just as you explained. Finally a 4th gun that fits in.

There have been two sizes of those rifles for ages, I think...

Oh? I thought the sawn-off rifle is new. do you have the part number Tahra?

No, sorry, but in my rifles box there were two sizes... we had to look about to give troopers matching ones...
