I took some new shots of the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry that Artmaster Studios had painted for my 1st Bull Run project.

Perfect painting and I like this fire red!

One of the few Union regiments that withdrew in good order that day.

And then they were virtually wiped out plugging a hole in the line at Gettysburg, day 2, taking on a whole brigade.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Excellent thread! 8) Thought about doing an early war version at some point and this inspiration for that.

These look so sharp - might even save a few as screen savers!

I marched the Bull Run figures out tonight for a game.
I used our Death in the Dark Continent rules, with a change in the musket ranges to 4" effective 16" maximum. We had 5 regiments each, plus a battery of guns (one base). I liked it. We got the game over quite quick, I'm looking forward to trying it with 3-4 Brigades a side with multiple players.
