Badger Games: Pontoonier Miniatures Releases Old West Federales


Badger Games: No more need to repurpose Maximillian Adventure or Pershing Expedition Mexican regulars for your Old West games as Pontoonier has released wave one of a huge range of 28mm Mexican army figures for the late 1870s, the 1880s and 1890s.

Frederick Remington was renown for his accurate artistic representations of the Old West (Native Americans, Cowboys, Settlers and more). Remington made several trips to Mexico. In the late 1880s, he traveled throughout Mexico for nearly two months sketching and painting the people he came across for Harper’s Weekly. His artwork, from his firsthand observations, sketches and paintings form the basis of tis range. 

This first offering is of the Infantry as they appeared on campaign. Artillery and Cavalry and much more will follow! During this period, the Mexican Federal Army or “Federales” faced off against Ex-Confederate Raiders who refused to quit, Wayward US patrols. Apaches, Comanches, Comancheros, Peon uprisings, Warlords, Civil Wars, Outlaws, Banditos and a decades long conflict with the Yaqui.

Designed by Rob Baker, these 28mm masterpieces provide all of the variety you have come to expect from Pontoonier Miniatures. Additionally, through a partnership with Flags of War, we offer not one, but two versions of the Mexican National flag used during the period. Now you can add a decidedly south of the border flavor to your Old West games! Pontoonier Miniatures are distributed exclusively by Badger Games. Check them all here
