It does Scott, that is exactly how it works. I think two legs off the ground
is KIA, one leg is WIA and the statue on foot is neither. It is close to
that, I go to the museum and ask.

This has *nothing* to do with Warrior but I'm looking to see if anybody
has an answer or has heard an urban legend surrounding the following
question:

"What does it mean when a cavalry statue has all four legs on the
groung, one leg off the groung, and two legs off the ground. I think it
has something to do with if the soldier died, or was wounded."

If you've ever heard of something about this, please let me know.

It's not just mearly showing if the horse was running, troting, etc?

Please ask the museum, "Why is it important to know if the horse was WIA,
KIA, MIA, or AWOL, or just survivor?" & "Who keeps the records of how the
horses died?" :)


Does this mean I should mount my CNC on horse whose model has all four legs
on the ground? It would imply that he is less mobil and should therefore
stay in back where he belongs. Maybe this has been my problem all along.
Time to rebase!

>Ah, so this does have some bearing on what we do:) I never thought
of it that way. No I'm picturing old MiniFig 25mm horses galloping
forward with, you guessed it, two legs off the ground. Now while they
might capture the spirit of a mounted general, obviously the poor "feng
shui" created by having those two legs off the ground is something to
account for when playing Warrior.

>I sense a boost in horse sales where they placidly stand there, lolling
about doing nothing. But just think of the "luck waves" that will flow
over your general as a result of those 4 legs planted firmly on the
ground.

You can't answer that on a moderated list.

Scott,

As an American History teacher I had heard this
before. When I went to Sharpsburg with Greg McCall a
few years back the park ranger explained to me that if
an officer in the Civil War (or as he put it,"The War
of the Northern Agression") was mounted on a horse
with all four legs on the ground, he made it through
the battle unwounded. If his horse had one leg up he
was wounded but still survived. If the horse is
rearing, the officer was killed in action.

Tradition has it that on leg raised indicates wounded in action and two
indicates killed in action.

Except that the statue of James B. McPherson in McPherson Square in
Washington does not have two legs off the ground ... at least as far as I
remember ... and I think that the statue of Sherman in Grand Army Plaza in
New York has one foot off the ground ... at least, I think so ... from
memory ... which is not worth much at my age.

From Harold William Low

Of course, there's other traditions as well ... My father
swore this is a true story, but claims he personally had no
part in it.
Supposedly, a statue of Lee was presented to a university
(name suppressed to protect the guilty) by the Daughters of
the Confederacy. The engineering students discovered that
it was to be a bronze equestrian statue of Lee on Traveler.
So...
some night prior to the unveiling, they prepared the statue
with drills, corks, cords, and a long hose.
I'm told that Traveler urinated for two hours at the
unveiling.
