VICTORIA: Historical Soldiery
Here we offer a selection of historically styled officers (and other special individuals) along with the redoubtable soldiers of colonial-era Earth, also done in historical style.
Remember, all our historical troops are eminently suitable for VSF games as well, since (as we see it) ordinary troops would still form the bulk of all armies as well as leading the colonizing forces of Earth on the red planet Mars.
Our Victorian officers (O codes) are available individually. Troops (VICT codes) are more variable. Infantry come in sets of 10 random variants. Cavalry come in sets of 3 random variants. Some codes such as machine gun teams and artillery crews come in a standardized sets. Prices may vary.
Codes in italics are not yet available.
BRITISH
For the moment we only have officers on offer in the historical styling.
Naval Brigade?
Our Aero-naval Brigade figures come with two heads: one with goggles and one without. Using the one without goggles gives you quite servicable, historical Naval Brigade figures. You can add some riflemen to a boarding party, but you probably want to stick to VSFT-11 for your landing parties.
JAPANESE
These are the stalwart troops of the eager and expanding Japanese Empire.
GERMANS
Now on the battlefields are the first of our German Empire troops and officers: the Prussians. The uhlan cavalry are lancers and need an ever-so-slim brass rod for a lance (alas, not supplied). They'll also need their hands drilled out to hold the lance, but once done, they will grip it more securely than cavalrymen with mere open hands. They do, however, come with separate, scabbarded carbines, allowing you to model those uhlan regiments that were so armed. The Uhlan officer has two arms (one option with pistol and the other with drawn sword) and is available with special cavalry unit deals.
AMERICANS
The regular infantry of the brash, young United States of America seem a bit rough hewn and poorly disciplined to many of the European powers. However, little can be said against their fighting ability and marksmanship.
