Thanks guys much appreciated.

Colin, the sergeant is the one with the waist sash (I know, he doesn't stand out to well). However things are in motion to change that with some new basing and therefore a larger base for the Sergeant :)
Reading about all the games being planned for BLAMs 10th anniversary I imagine there wouldn't be room for me to put on a game if I wanted to (and that's a good thing).
Though I suppose we could extend BLAM by a couple of days lol.

Actually there is talk of starting BLAM 2017 one day early next year so I am sure we can find room for your game. ;D

This might be my problem too; an extra day's holiday and an extra night's accommodation and meals.  :'(

That being said don't let it stop you guys. :)

Very nice painting indeed  :)

I have seem pictures of the feathers in the hats being black,red and red and white. Were the colours particular to regiments, flank companies or officers?

Do you know, I'm really not sure. The level of my research amounts to reading the odd Osprey book and looking at pictures of how other people have painted them lol.
Green feathers may equate to light flank troops and red and white to centre or " hat" troops and possibly pure red or white to the Grenadiers, however that's based more upon my Napoleonic reading than AWI.
My take on it is that this particular Regiment had been in America since the start and would have contained a high proportion of veterans and been involved in a number of major campaigns. Their uniform would have been altered to take in the extremes of climate in the Southern campaign and mixed in with veterans hanging on to old bits of kit and new intake turning up in newly issued uniform, even in the same company not everybody's uniform would look the same so I'm not to fussy about how they are portrayed.
The important thing for me is that I will be able to tell the difference on the table top between the Welsh lads and the Guard light companies, because the 23rd will have the three white feathers and the Guards will have a single green feather  :)
