I have some catching up to do...part 5 Carlist War



This is the final catching up post, although I do have some WW2 and odds and ends to show on later posts.

The Navarrese units are actually part of a long ago campaign and another of 'My Daughter  is awesome' posts.

In all their Carlist glory
After college, the first pbm (1970's- so really by mail.) campaign included a country called Navarre.  The player named his country and used the Carlist uniforms as a basis of his 'imagined' nation.  Since all the rest of the players were pretty much wed to Napoleonic style uniforms, this made Dave (the player of Navarre) the standout sartorially.

Flash forward 40 years or so.  My hankering after a Carlist force stoked by the Perry Bros. range and abetted by a Christmas present from my daughter. I have some mounted  command to paint and await a possible reinforcement, if my daughter once again delves into the website for my Christmas gift. (Hope springs eternal....and she did ask what I wanted...)

The uniforms are basic Navarre troops from the book called The First on the Carlist War by Conrad Cairns on the Perry website. Sadly, the book is not listed right now on their website.  There is a scenario/rulebook on the Carlist war listed...All honor is Lost  but I do not know what uniform information it might have inside.  Another good source for information is the yahoo group on the Carlist War.

 I have two units formed and one on skirmish bases.   This should give me a lot of flexibility in small forces.
Anyway, in the tradition of how I play, these fellows will be featured as a contingent in the next 'imaginated' campaign slowly bubbling on my back burners.
