Anyone know what tactics would be used by the British army in this era? Was there a manual?

There was one indeed :

The 1860's were a transitional period as the lessons learned the hard way in the Crimea and during the Bengal mutiny were being incorporated in British infantry tactics.

Thank you, Arthur. My resolve not to buy these figures is fading.....

Some nice plastic Union troops to act as opponents would be nice too.

[joroas]

Nice stuff and very tempting.

Guys,

Any ideas on what standards the Canadians would have had, can I just get away with British flags of the same regimental numbers?

Any online source for canadian regiments facing colours?

[Sterling Moose]

Similar but smaller, here are the colours of the 13 Bn Royal Canadian Volunteer Militia possibly carried at Ridgeway circa 1866

[Sterling Moose]

Facing colours for the 13th Bn were dark blue.
