Specially designed to supplement GTSTE, these unique miniatures fill the gap among 15mm figure ranges of the
Mexican-American War for these signature supporting soldiers and civilian personnel, and allow players of GTSTE to represent
them in their table top games and bring their benefits to Mexican Army units.
All figures are cast in pewter for TVAG by Zombiesmith to ensure top
quality.
There are five bagged sets of castings available, each with its own distinct historical purpose in battle
and reflected in the rules.

4 Monks, 2 acolytes carrying banners, and 1 each with incense burner and cross.

armies, carrying proper period instruments: 1 Bandmaster, 2 side and 1 bass drums,

fashion), and 1 ophicleide (a variety of tuba), totaling 12 figures. SPM-3-- Mexican fifes and drums, 5 each totaling 10 figures. SPM-4--Soldaderas for close support in action as well as in camp and on the march: 1 firing musket,
