Uwe - which Mongols do you use?

Hi Uwe,

I've been looking for figures to beef up my cossack ranks. You had mentioned in an earlier post that you use the Mongols as Tatars and Bakshirs for the napoleonic era. I've read the same thing on another site:

http://miniatures.de/html/int/1812-tatar.html#?173,106

They indicate both the Italeri and Zvezda sets.

Based on the PSR review of the sets, which poses are you using?

Re: Uwe - which Mongols do you use?

I'm after the same info! Any good links? I'm going for the Italeri set

Hi Ron,

I've used the light cavalry without armour. Especially the archers. The Bashkirs in 1812-14 were equiped with lances, bow and sometimes old muskets.
So you have a lot of opportunities for conversions.

The Italeri Mongols are easier to convert because of the softer plastic.

cheers
Uwe
