Nice! Now I'm going to forget I saw it. I need to go home and paint Mexican-American mercenary stuff, not the pile of personal Sash and Saber ACW stuff that mocks me from the unpainted pile!

WOW indeed!  :o

Just wondering, is that 28mm figures?

Yes, these are 28mm Dixons Miniatures in the main, though I have the odd 1st Corps figure, mostly guns and crew, and a few Foundry ones too, mostly command figures.

Very nice indeed  :love:
I find early morning UK time is best for multi picture uploads at Freewebs, the USA is asleep then.

Jon and I played the scenario out again tonight. This time I did break the line and seize the Peach Orchard, only to be driven out right at the end by a truely violent counter attack!

Truely lovely looking! With such a reat set up I am a bit surprised you are willing to take it down a bit by using little blue plastic dustbins as markers.

These 'little blue plastic dustbins' are ammunition depletion markers I'll have you know! Union's are blue, Rebels are black ~ can't get any grey ones. Now, if the chap who sells them got some gunmetal coloured ones, I'd be well chuffed.
By the way, anyone got a source for the plastic curtain rings that Wilkinsons used to sell here in UK, I'd like some more?

That is soo impressive. Thank the Lead Gods* I have some brigades in the post already from various people.

What make are the flags you use, and how would you rate 1st Corps ACW?

*Are plastic 28mm covered by the lead Gods, or is it a lesser deity created by incantations by the Perry Brothers and others?  :mrgreen:

"Resistance is useless!" as the Vogons might say!
However, get Dixons figures, far more character than Perrys, and with proper facial hair!

Got the flags in US, from Tridelphia Games I think, don't know who makes them, they come in A4 sized sheets of about a dozen or so flags and cost about $5 when I got them.
