Back in the summer, one of my friends bought me the Airfix Foreign legion fort with Foreign Legion and Bedouin figures.
I will be getting on this in 2022.
I first got this set in Japan of all places.
The French Foreign Legion figures I will paint as is but they may find themselves as other nationalities in 19th century battlefields
During the Italian Wars of Unification, the Papal states raised an armed force to defend itself from the fear of radicalism, or probably loss of revenue from lands lost.
Now, as a part of Canadian military history, the unit raised was recruited from Catholics in Lower Canada.
As such the unit has a very special place in the history of Quebec.
As the uniform is similar to what American civil war figures look like, I have been able to paint up a small section including an officer
The uniform is basically grey with red highlights. The headgear is a kipi.
So yet another unit to add to the table.
I have another conflict that I can use my US Civil War figures in. So I may just pick up the Confederate forces soon as well.
So I decided to model a Fenian force based off of US Civil War Union infantry from Iraleri. I had thought of getting some Confederates but I choose Union troops as they seem to be the largest group of veterans who enlisted into the Fenian Brotherhood
Having potentially landed at Campebello Island, New Brunswick
