    Is there a manufacturer of 6mm World War II Romanian cavalry figures?

    GHQ makes infantry, but no Cav that I could find.

    Thanks,

    My 6mm Rumanian cavalry look suspiciously like H&R Russian and German cavalry painted in Rumanian uniform colours.

    Adler do French Cavalry which might be slightly closer than most (the Adrian helmet is shaped slightly more like the Romanian/Dutch one).

    Alternatively I reflect on the likelihood that, as soon as they were in battle range, they dismounted. So, use GHQ infantry and let them move faster than foot infantry. Though I do recall reading about the Romanian officer who led a cavalry charge in 42? (another contender for the ‘last ever’ such charge).

    Cheers

    I think every horse cavalry unit in WW2 liked to claim it made ‘the last ever cavalry charge’. I wonder if 1st Cavalry Div in Palestine managed that before they converted to tanks.

    I would imagine the actual contenders would be Russians, serving in a cavalry mechanised group in 1945.

    Probably right about the Russians.  Thanks for the suggestions, I was hoping that there may have at least been some Dutch figs available.  The French idea will give some contrast in appearance should they be on the table the same time as the Russians.

    I’m still not completely sure about how I will represent them, but figured I’d use regular infantry stands once they were fighting.  I’ll probably use some ratio of cav figs and infantry stands to indicate when they are on the move, as I really don’t look forward to painting a lot of 6mm horses, just something that I don’t enjoy.

    Thanks again,

    Quite right. Awful chore.
