July 2022 Expeditionary Force Figures Galore
Greetings from Singapore!
Very pleased to inform you of the release of seven new sets in June as follows:-
War of 1812
54 CND 03 Canadian Light Dragoons
Napoleonic Peninsular War – Guerrilla Actions (Spain 1810)
1. 54 PNF 06 French Garrison Infantry (shell jacket)
2. 54 PNF 07 French Escort Cavalry (shell jacket)
Texas Revolution & The Alamo 1835 – 1836
1. 54 TXN 01 Texian Infantry (round peaked cap)
3. 54 TXN 01-PW Texian Infantry (pinwheel cap)
4. 54 TXN 01-FL Texian Infantry (foldable leather cap)
5. 54 TXN 02 Texian Cavalry (round peaked cap)
The set contains 5 model soldiers comprising 1 officer and 4 troopers, plus 5 horse models. The heads and arms are interchangeable to enable the assembly of different postures. Although there are no massed cavalry battle actions in the War of 1812, the transportation mode of the period requires the availability of horse soldiers for many field operations. The Canadian Light Dragoons are issued with sabers and pistols, but not carbines.
We choose to do a set of Canadian cavalry to complete the range of troop types for the period.
French Napoleonic
These models could also be used as Mexican militia infantry for the Alamo campaign.
(The set was designed for 1812 Scott’s Brigade but we soon realized that the models could be easily converted for Spanish Guerrilla wars 1808-1814 as well as the Mexican militia of 1836. For those who have no interest in 1812, these other periods might be of interest.)
Spanish irregular troops will be covered in due course.
Texian Infantry
The set contains 9 model soldiers comprising of 1 officer and 8 infantrymen. The heads and arms are interchangeable to enable the assembly of different postures. Note that except for the officer and heads, most of these models are those already issued under 54 AMR 05 Scott’s Brigade box-set.
(Being a collector myself, there is often the desire to convert certain models into a slightly different period. To accommodate such requests and to minimize our warehouse having to deal with loose parts shipping. We choose to simply extra-sculpt and include the required parts and options as we see appropriate.)
The models of this set can be used as British soldiers in the early Cape wars and other colonial actions.
The set contains the same 9 model soldiers as above, comprising of 1 officer and 8 infantrymen. The heads and arms are interchangeable to enable the assembly of different postures. The pinwheel forage cap is issued in the US army in 1825 before it is replaced in 1833. Many American volunteer units in the Texas revolution of 1835-1836 would have dressed with army surplus.
The set contains the same 9 model soldiers as above, comprising of 1 officer and 8 infantrymen. The heads and arms are interchangeable to enable the assembly of different postures. The foldable leather cap is issued in the US army in 1833 before it is replaced in 1839. Many American volunteer (deserter) units in the Texas revolution of 1835-1836 would have been dressed as such. Their unshaven appearance is intentional.
The set contains 5 model soldiers comprising 1 officer and 4 troopers, plus 5 horse models. The heads and arms are interchangeable to enable the assembly of different postures. This set is designed to supplement the Texian infantry sets above. The troopers are supplied with a carbine.
Many models from our Napoleonic French series can be used as Mexican soldiers of the Alamo period.
Next Release
The next set in the production queue is the 60mm Medieval Cavalry in chainmail armor to be released in late July 2022.
Looking forward to your kind support.
The pandemic and war are causing various disruptions in global logistics and finance. Please feel free to contact me if there are matters we need to address to ensure continuous supply to your customers.
Stay safe.
Cheers,
Scott

We can only ship items that we have on hand. For all new items released since January 2020; we can only ship from China for parcels of 4 box sets or more.
What would be the point of using the Texans as British for the cape wars when there is no Māori opponents?
There weren’t any Maoris in The Cape of South Africa eh,Did you go to an American High School??LOL
Thanks for correcting me, I was thinking of the East cape wars, lots of capes out there.
You also did not need to be so very rude; the cape war Ex force is referring to is also known as the Xhosa Wars which is what I know it by.
Expeditionary forces has done great as always
