Pershing`s Yanks
A while back I ran a game using my entire 1916/17 US force:

I noticed I was a few infantry short, so as I was ordering some stuff from Raventhorpe anyway, I added a few US cavalry figures from his Mexican Revolution range to that order. Now unfortunately Tony only does three variants, but they are quite nice! They also seem to mix quite well with the others I own, making my US force a little less cloned.

Just for anyone interested I`ve done a comparative photo so you can see Tony`s fine figures alongside other Yanks in my collection.

Raventhorpe, IT Miniatures, Early War Miniatures, Tumbling Dice, Shellhole Scenics, Jacklex
Same as 99.9%+ of wargamers, “a few more wouldn’t hurt” 😉 And quite rightly too. The Tumbling Dice figure looks a tad small, but otherwise the figures seem to mix together well.

Hi Geoff, actually when I played the large game I was half a dozen figures short, which wasn`t a real issue in the game, but I do like things to be correct - so this is why I ordered these to fill the gaps (I`ve just done the same with my 1940 era French too). Yes TD and IT Miniatures are more 1/76th than 1/72nd, but as long as you don`t over mix types they look ok at 4" across a tabletop.
