Title: Silver Legion Nationailsts for 2nd ACW
Post by: Skrapwelder on June 29, 2010, 05:39:26 AM
I've gotten the better part of my Nationalist forces completed and am only awaiting a shipment of weapons and some infantry from Warlord Games.
But here they are as they stand now. Hopefully this will get some of the other participants in our campaign rolling to post some pics of their own.

First, is Colonel Alvin Hammah, Regimental Commander of the 11th Cavalry Regiment.

Next we have Major Jack Steuban, Commander of "A" Company, the regiments armored car company. Major Steuban also handles regimental security issues with the help of his MP platoon composed entirely of members of the Silver Legion.

One of the M2A4 prototypes liberated by Colonel Hammah from the Constitutionalist forces that occupied the Aberdeen proving grounds during the Colonels most recent action before being given command of the 11th by General Patton. The five tanks make up "B" Company.

Captain Dan Pritchard(with pipe) shown with several of his "C" Company NCOs. "C" Company is the regiments mechanized infantry company.

1st Platoon of "C" Company.

The only thing left for this bunch is a couple more armored cars with crews and two more infantry squads.

Any resemblance between the characters here and any real (or fictional) persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

Thanks for looking.

Hammer's Slammers in the 2nd ACW, that's a nice touch. I have to say that I must be a bigger geek than I like to admit when the first thing I thought about reading "Jack Steuben" and seeing the White Mice insignia (nice touch those) were the Drake books...

That armoured car is absolutely fantastic.

I ordered mostly vehicle weapons for the AC's from Warlord, plus some cavalry for my Mexican army. I've got crew figures for the AC's coming from Brigade Games as well.

I made the AC from some model car parts and styrene and made a mold of it.

No plans to sell this current version. I did set aside the first four castings to clean up all the things I'm not happy with. So there's no telling what the future holds.

If somebody wants one bad enough and is willing to make their own bumpers, windshields and axles, drop me a line and we can work something out.

Call it impervious.  Last nights game we hit it with several artillery shots, over a dozen grenades and merely damaged 1 heavy machine gun.  The best thing going for us to fight it was that skrapwelder rolled to jam various of his own guns, (there are 6) on multiple occasions. 
It is a very cool model.

Wow!  Lovely job on the modded tank, sir!  Is that model available anywhere for purchase?

Postal, the info is coming from the fevered mind of Doc Twilight, here on LAF.  Here is his 1st post on the subject
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=17549.0
it gives an outline of his version of what could have happened.

There are other alternate histories too.  There's an acw2 yahoo group that also has some ideas.

For our games we use the Triumph & Tragedy rules, but the setting isn't rule specific, so you can use what ever rules you're comfortable with & think fits the period.  Here's a LAF board about the rules.
