ACW 10mm forces commission. Union forces for Gettysberg.

Lee contacted me to ask me to do some more for his ACW collection.
Everything shown here is Pendraken, even the banners
Lee asked me to do another batch of Union. "To finish this lot off" and to add an extra few stands to his Confederates.
Then he showed me the AWI order he's just put into Leon! I'm going to be busy for quite a while!!!

The whole batch



Union infantry stands


Suitably grim


Off they go to war


At the quick


Named infantry command stands


18th Mass., 18th Indiana, 42nd Indiana, 1st Batt, 11th US Infantry


Never take photos as 6 am! You will notice the flag edging improves throughout this set!


Great sculpts


Away they go


Off they pop


Generic command stands


Advance


Yes, one commander is facing the other way


Supply wagon for the Union


"Three wheels on my wagon..."


Clip-clop


Confederates, featuring command stands for 49th Georgia, 34th Alabama, 37th Virginia


If you notice two flags on two standsm, that's because I did not know the Confederates only carried one flag per regiment. So I added the older national flags for a bit of colour.


Lee asked me to try to match his basing, I hope I got away with it!


These are also 5 to a base to match his, whereas his Union infantry is 4 to a base, and his cavalry dismounts three!


I love the flags, they really stand out!


This one really looks the part


Confedetrate supply wagon


Looks uncomfortable


You ever play 'Oregon Trail'? You die of dystentry..


Top view of the whole lot


 Had not realised it was two years since the last batch!


Corps commanders, McClellan on the left


Ready for Gettysberg




Back view


Five more units of Union infantry


As they march away


It is quite a large batch (42.5 bases of 4)


The command stands


I labelled the underside command stands, allowing Lee flexibility of units for Fire and Fury (The Pendraken flag labels are perfect size).


Brigadiers (using up spare command infantry too)






Artillery x 4


BNAG!


Think Lee miscounted how much artillery he needed, he wanted two of each gun, but ordered two PACKS of each gun!




A mix of Parrott and smoothbores


They feel 'right'.


Don't stand there mate!


Top view


Buildings
SCN-ACW2






SCN-ACW3











SCN-ACW4






SCN-ACW7




SCN-ACW6




Anteitem Church SCW-ACW8








Snake rail fencing - three packs worth
First sections




Two more sections


About an A4 length of rail

 Lee asked me to get these done by the end of July, so I started them last Thursday, and they were posted on Tuesday.

Infantry- Doubleday's Division 1st Corps


Top view


I had enough figures left over for an extra unit.


As they advance


Buford's cavalry division, with enough spare figures to build an extra brigade.


An impressive sight.


Heavy horse flesh


Charge


On their way


Dismounted stands


Really love these


Certainly adds to the firepower, but not at very long range.


Advancing to glory


Exceptional brigade commander stands






Divisional commanders, Buford to the front


Buford is my favourite ACW general btw.


Is it good ground?


1st Corps Command Reynolds (killed at Gettysberg)




Standard was fun, just wish the photos had come out clearer.




Artillery








Not quite a grand battery.


Limbers






Waiting for something...


That something

Black Powder 1870 Stats and Modifications

1870 Franco-Prussian Conflict in Black Powder Hi all, If you are reading this, it's because. like us, you are Black Powder fans and want to know how we manage the Franco-Prussian War. Anything below is by no way official, just the house rules we have developed over the last few years of playing. A few thoughts first: Fighting in the period is best described as hard fought assaults by Prussians, supported by superior artillery against superior but very strong defensive French lines. All ranges and movements are in cm scale, just to be awkward! All my forces are modelled on 3” square bases, apart from divisional commanders, skirmishers and artillery which have a frontage of 1½” and Corp commanders who are on a 2” base. Feel free to ignore that. My units are regiments of infantry,   brigades of cavalry and skirmish squadrons of cav. Artillery is either battalion as one gun, or a battery of two guns on a base, horse artillery have limbers attached. Army composition...

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain.  I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   Here comes the couragous WWI fighter ace in his Sopwith Camel. Hunting The Red Baron on the Dawn Patrol. Bit bigger than 25mm scale, but he will provide top cover for my Kindred WWI stuff. Yes, you have seen the flight stand before on my epic stuff. He's going so fast, the camera can't focus! "Curse you Red Baron!"   Two more Highlanders from the 80s, thanks to Brian up the road. Armed with two bottles or a sword, who is harder? More plaid Well hard! Top view   A chaos warrior It was free, and I've given it to a mate who runs a chaos armym=, hence th elack of basing as he will do it to his own style. Big chopp...
