Mexican Revolution inventory 1 - Federals

Mexican Revolution Inventory

As always when we go out to Spain I take some stuff out, as part of this load was the more recent finished painted figures including those various Tumbling Dice additions for my Mexican Revolution project. Whilst putting everything in its correct box in the wargames cave, I took the opportunity to list and count that part of the collection.

 Federal forces

These are a mix of Federal line infantry and cavalry plus Rural Corps and Colorados, I have to be honest, I`ve played pretty fast and lose with some of the uniforms as I`ve used some from earlier periods (1900-1910) just for fun.

The figures are a wide mix:
Irregular & Bandera SCW, Warrior Miniatures cavalry with head swaps, converted old Airfix US Cavalry, Shellhole Scenics, Raventhorpe, Tumbling Dice, Italeri & Hat & Airfix plastics, plus odds`n sods like Combat Miniatures Japanese and minor conversions and head-swaps too. 

The whole army
125 various infantry
33 gunners w/34 cannon & 3 machine guns & 4 horse limbers
66 cavalry
3 vehicles
General + staff & German advisors (14 figs)
2 platoons of Rurales/Colorados
