No Wheels & Horses Please…..We're Americans

 The inhabitants of the Americas discovered the wheel outside of the ‘Ancients’ period. It’s a similar story regarding horses.

 Lurkio - Chinantec command

On Saturday I used my, newly painted, Incas against Ian’s Aztecs and got slaughtered. I muttered under my breath that the victorious forces were once mine. When I got home I started looking through my Meso-American boxes again and wondering where I could purchase figures to make up some more armies (It’s the masochist in me).

My researches turned up some manufactures of 15mm figures suitable for DBA armies of North, Central & South America:

Notes:

 Magister Militum has a 15mm Aztec Temple (FGIM52)

Minifigs & Naismith used to produce ranges of suitable figures but they are no longer available (trawling Ebay might help though).
