Perry Miniatures American War of Indepedence American Mounted American Militia Command 28mm Scale Metal Figures

This essential28mm metalcommand set features three uniquely sculpted American Militia leaders in dynamic mounted poses, capturing the informal yet gritty spirit of the Revolutionary frontier leadership.

Lead your “Minutemen” and partisan forces into the heart of the skirmish with theMounted American Militia CommandbyPerry Miniatures. During the American War of Independence (AWI), militia cavalry and mounted irregulars were indispensable for scouting, raiding, and harassing British supply lines, particularly in the Southern Theater. This set represents the grassroots leadership of the Revolution—officers who provided their own horses and gear, resulting in the distinct, non-uniformed appearance that defined the American spirit.

The set includes three mounted figures: a commander signaling a charge, a standard bearer (optional use), and a supporting officer. Their attire—ranging from civilian coats to practical riding gear—makes them the perfect centerpiece for a militia wing. Cast in high-detailwhite metal, these figures are designed to perfectly compliment the broaderPerry Miniatures AWI range, bridging the gap between formal Continental forces and civilian resistance.
