I can’t say it had occurred to me, but now I need to know. Out of curiosity, are you planning to copyright the idea?

That’s actually quite a good idea; I have been looking for an excuse to get some of the Perry miniatures great looking minis, this would be a good way to game it. The best part is the lack of armour which can be overpowering. Medics in halftracks are also non-existent!  lol

You may find some of these adaptions for the ACW useful, not my blog by the way.

Wow, I have a pile of FPW Germans that have not seen the gaming table in ages.  This might be a good way to get my other gamers interested.  Nice!

Very probably but it may have to be called Needle Action to avoid confusion.
