Why not use the Native Americans in the AWI range?

This range is on the horizon. How far away that horizon has yet to be determined, but it will be happening.

Nice work. I like the all grey mounts for E cpy. Custer did have each company ride different colour horses so that they could be more easily identified at a distance. A cpy all blacks, B, F, I & L cpys all bays, C cpy light sorrel, D cpy black and bays, E cpy all greys, G & K cpys Sorrel, H cpy red bay, M cpy a mixture of all colours.

Through the travail of the ages Midst the pomp and toil of war Have I fought and strove and perished Countless times upon this star.
So as through a glass and darkly The age long strife I see Where I fought in many guises, Many names but always me.
So forever in the future Shall I battle as of yore, Dying to be born a fighter But to die again once more.

The mounted troopers (ACW13). Do they have drawn sabres?. Looking at the photo of code ACW13 it does look like they do have drawn sabres. As a proxy for the 7th they wouldn't be historically accuarate for Little Big Horn. Custer had all the 7ths' sabres returned in a wagon to Fort Lincoln prior to the battle. Apparently he wanted to travel fast and light so as to be the first of the US troops to engage the hostiles, so they only had their carbines. Had they their sabres Custer could have led sabre charges against the Indians and history could have been much different.

In all the Pony Wars games I played, B Troop never made it back home....
