Wheats Tigers Attack! (2 Viewers)

Great news! I've already converted a PA zouave to Wheat's battalion. May be including some 5th New Yorkers to do the same soon. The more, the merrier! Maybe a state or regimental Tiger flag to go along with them..

"The Tiger Rifles’ flag consisted of a “gamboling lamb” device with “Gentle As” written derisively above it. The Delta Rangers’ flag, which became the battalion’s color at the battle of Manassas by “the luck of the draw,” was a rectangular silk “Stars and Bars” with eight celestial points in a circular pattern. (As cited in Schreckengost)."

Brian - this is from a book by author/historian Gary Schreckengost about the Tigers. for a color photo, check out their website www.acws.net/tigers/photos. hope this helps

I just added some MORE reinforcements to my Wheat's tigers via the 5th NY zouaves. Repainted the trousers, changed a couple of heads along the way, even though the muskets are not correct. Brian - How about a figure of Rob Wheat leading the charge with the additional Tigers? I'd rather not have to convert other zouave units because of the differences but you gotta do what you gotta do...

i know! Brian - maybe you should put some Tiger zouaves in Tiger tanks!! then people will talk about something different
