Send in the Zouaves!

Southern Zouaves in this case.

Wheat's Zouaves. Also known as the Tiger Zouaves.

The colonel. I kept humming"Bananas in Pyjamas" when painting these.

Standard from "Flags of War".

Now I still had a heap of Zouaves figures left over but not enough for a whole unit. If I scraped around a bit and used some spare infantry and artillery men I might just make up a unit. So here is the result.

A hypothetical converged Southern Zouave unit.

Colonel and Colour party from Coppen's Zouaves, Louisiana.

The Home Sentinals, Ibervile Parish militia, Louisiana.

Thomasville Zouaves, Georgia.

Louisiann Cadtes, New Orleans Rifles.

South Carolina Volunteer Zouaves.

Louisiana Turcos, New Orleans Rifles.
