My Marine force is still in the "to be built" pile. Pretty much decided paint them up as a Texas Militia rifle (Ranger) platoon.

I was not able to secure any armored cars, texas tanks, tea tossers, or longhorns. I have . A selection of Mark II, IIb, III, and a single IV tanks, a few armored flivers and tenders to throw at the martians will squads of doughboys and armored infantry. My notions force is an ad hock unit of platoon sized remnants thrown together to shore up Texas defenses after the closing of the Louisiana pocket.

I only managed Longhorns , the old glory blue moon ranges is supposed to be a good match. I am planning on using the ww1 armoured cars from the range to use for my Texas army

Took a gander at those minis. The Minerva armored car looks pretty good and the mortar teams look useful too. Alway thought mortars would be great infantry support in this game.

Was orginally in marine pdf - do look at True North forces for more types of tankettes, T-13 Lloyd Carriers, and other supporting figures for TX. I expanded the mortars in my Infantry Weapons list (the Marines are 'medium', 81mm). Also, do look at the Blue Moon British tab Mark I Gun Carrier and Ammo Carrier for additional Mobile Artillery. With Old Glory Army discount, they're only $6.60 each, giving you a full battery of 3 with an Ammo (ei munitions) carrier for only $26.40!

As far as I can tell AD used many of the Blue Moon Zombie figures as Ragers. There are multiple matches when you compare the AD and Blue Moon photos.

And with Texas oil fields and refineries we could postulate an growing emphisis on gasoline powered vehicles of steam.

I am planning on using the ww1 armoured cars from the range to use for my Texas army Yes, atm rather limited but I'm eagerly awaiting the new figures Old Glory listed last summer on their paper sheets. You don't see them in the online lisitngs as they've not been produced yet. So, I'm listing them here for all to see and ponder ahead of time - with the hopes that we'll see some of them soon or at the very least this summer. These are Not Yet Available from the paper handout catalog at Historicon 2015. No prices for any of it and you won't find these listings online at all.
