Such issuance might show all troopers in a squadron with a the same headgear but troopers in a different regiment might still be wearing the old style headgear. I do think a mix within a unit would add interest.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-5480257963813575502016-03-13T09:39:21.977-07:002016-03-13T09:39:21.977-07:00Yet another great looking unit, I like the bicorne...Yet another great looking unit, I like the bicornes, although I'm also a big bacon fan too. I'd have thought some in bicornes and some in helmets would make sense. If you want them all in bicornes for uniformity I doubt anyone would disagree.

I saw no mention of red plume for musicians but a red plume would look good and help set the trumpeter apart on even more on the battlefield. If red plume is confirmed, that is an easy change to make. What do you say? Should the plume be red?Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-62125325027655369992016-03-11T17:18:58.180-08:002016-03-11T17:18:58.180-08:00Thanks, Scott!
