But if I was doing another troop I`d change the colour of the crown to red or pale green (again with white cords) to make each troop visibly different.

I have obtained EWM figures and am in the process of painting them.<br />I was unsure of the colour of the 'crown' of their caps. So maybe the light blue would be appropriate? Any other colours? The net is unhelpful on this subject.<br />Thanks Richard.Richard Pullinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930075286229598152.post-63437435568065953982022-06-03T12:54:23.376-07:002022-06-03T12:54:23.376-07:00I`ve never considered Russian Civil War as wargame...I`ve never considered Russian Civil War as wargames period, but you are right these would fit right in.

What campaign(s) will you use them for? <br />If you are interested in Russian Civil War options, then you may find the Newline 20mm Turcomem (foot and cavalry) in their Colonial Afghan army list, useful for likes of Turcomen or Basmachi. Your Circassians could be useful for Basmachi too.<br />All best CarlCarlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802888878180530481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930075286229598152.post-1143285109508929202022-06-03T12:16:55.352-07:002022-06-03T12:16:55.352-07:00Very kind, I did convert a few plastic Napoleonics...Very kind, I did convert a few plastic Napoleonics into Circassians a while back :) I have to admit these are far nicer.
