Thought I'd show this latest edition to the project. Crusader Miniatures have expanded their ACW range, and I couldn't resist painting them to add some new units to army. This is a base of what'll be the 13th Alabama, defending a fence (made by Renedra)

Do they carry that fence wherever they go?

It helps them monetarise ill-gotten booty.

Perfect little vignette.

Great, inspiring job! I love this base!  :-*

I've contributed an article to the ezine ACW Gamer.

Dedicated followers of this thread will have read it before, but if you aren't one it might be of interest to you. I go through the modelling of the individual officers.

Very nice work, Nick!

Do you know if Crusader will expand their ACW range with advancing and skirmishing figures in hat?

Crusader Miniatures has added a new set of figures to their ACW range.

I'll be painting some, but not at the pace I was last year, mostly I think because I've got more miniatures than I can game with now. DOH.

Still working through my ACW set of rules, picture of last Thursday's game attached.

Some random additions to the project.
Crusader Miniatures have made new Gun Crews for their ACW range, but no guns.
So I got painter Dave Woodward to paint some up as Union and Confederates around the plastic Perry Guns.
Look out for them in pictures of future games.
