What Pose Should A Skirmisher Have?
What's the best or most optimum pose to utilize for a skirmisher (Jager)?
Marching, Advancing, Running, Firing or Kneeling Firing/Loading.
I have to make a decision soon on which pose to chose - so I welcome opinions/input.
skirmishers do look odd if they are all doing the same thing. I like Clive's suggestion of paired firing and loading, but if you can have only one position then advancing, running from cover to cover is best. Roy
If I had to pick one pose, it would be "advancing". Of course a mixture of poses always looks the most "skirmish-y" but it also is the most expensive.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I like my skirmishers firing. That's what they are there for!
ReplyDeleteI suppose if they act in pairs, and I realise you may only want one figure, but one firing and one loading would be good.
I would like to see more skirmishers in overcoats, preferably firing and loading in pairs as they operated in the field.

I would go for the loading and firing option also
