Mix of both for variety, painting Crimean Rooshuns are enough to send you ga ga as it :wink:

All my russian infantry are in helmets,but the Jagers are in caps,this is just so i know which is which. :wink:
Still,like Phil said a mix would add variety.1st company might wear caps,2nd helmets,etc. I dont think anyone would argue that they never wore both in the same unit.
