Patria Dragoon - Patriot


I think there were very few mounted Patria Dragoons, perhaps just one sqn...



These are Lancashire French Chasseurs a Cheval, I will add an Argentine guidon later. For the Battle of Huaqui it will also be necessary to field 2 sqns of Patria Dragoons dismounted. For these I have some Prussian Jagers waiting in the wings....


And here they are... although they appear to be carrying a full set of equipment,. I imagine that dismounted dragoons would be a little lighter, with their equipment left with the horses. However, these chaps may have been dismounted due to a lack of mounts. Anyway, I may replace these with less encumbered troops in the future.
