Oh good God! The French have just decided to send *all* their smartly
dressed horsemen to the Pacific, haven't they?

I spent last night trying various things with tire hats, and surprisingly,
Horse Artillery crossed my mind to... though the French were the only ones
to wore the bushbies... I need tarleton helmets -- which I unwisely never
got around to buying during Castle's run (off to the clearance section for
me) -- and then I get horse artillery... or light dragoons!
Still having a look at Grenadier bearskin shakos though... there must be a way!
And nice 8-pounder... hell, I'd venture its size to make it an 18-pounder --
a great seige gun, and then you'd have a reason for the Horse Artillery...
harass evildoers as they down the coast to Port Brique (and if they landed
Marines to capture the gun, you'd have cavalry there to stop them!).
Good stuff, once again!
