Title: Micks ACW project. Update ADC and Brigade stands added.
Post by: Madmick on April 02, 2020, 07:29:28 PM: I've been working on an ACW project on and off for a few years. Doing both sides means its slow progress. All figures are 28mm by 1st Corps.
Latest addition is artillery. 2 batteries per side. Each model represents 2 actual guns.

Post by: Madmick on April 25, 2020, 10:53:06 PM: Since i had it all laid out on the table. I thought i might aswell have a solo run through of Pickett's charge.It was my first run through of these rules but having played General D'Armee found it easy to follow.
A couple of photos of the game.

Title: Re: Micks ACW project.Update 26/04/20 Pickett's charge game.
Post by: Madmick on May 07, 2020, 08:03:53 AM: Some new units recently completed for the collection. These were half done for ages so have finished them off . Just need standards for the Marines which could also be painted as Confederate Marines.. The Marine figures could also be used as regulars for both sides in Frock coat.
Once again all figures by 1st Corps.
This brings the collection to 10 Regts of infantry, 2 batteries of guns and 1 Regt of cavalry per side..

Post by: olicana on May 07, 2020, 12:06:32 PM: Excellent additions.

Can't make up my mind if I should do ACW or Sudan as my last major 'horse and musket' period. I was leaning towards the Sudan, because it kills two birds with one stone (H&M and Colonial), but now I'm confused again. Thanks o_o ;D o_o

I was going to say do both! But then I saw it was you olicana and I know whatever you did it really would be a huge project!

Post by: Madmick on May 15, 2020, 08:12:11 PM: Finally after probably 4 years i've finished the 79th New York Volunteers. These were started before i admitted i needed glasses. Couldn't face the chequered cap and kilts back then. Amazing how much easier when you can see the end of the brush. lol
