Progress Report

Its Fall and its sunny so I've been distracted by getting house and garden ready for winter but I've made some progress.

19 Reb regiments, 20 figs each in 5 brigades + 5 Generals and 2 guns rebased and ready, almost. There's a couple of flags to add and Brigade colour stripes and regimental numbers to add to the rear of the bases. There's also 1/2 of the 20th regiment to be painted, not to mention the 6th Brigade, the cavalry and the rest of the artillery.

But the Yankees across the table! Looks like Shiloh all over again.

  3. Almost 400 "Good Guys", eh? (I had four ancestors in the Confederate forces so I guess I have to be a "Reb" when it comes to the ACW). That's a sizable force indeed . . . how many are recent paint jobs?

    1. Very few. 1/2 of my figures were painted, twe...no...thirty!!! years ago while over 1/2 are the volunteers painted by others probably 20 or more years ago. So maybe 100 figures painted within the last 3 years?

    1. I rely on the sight of the Rebel army to give me courage to finish their enemy.

    1. Once I laid out the Rebs and looked at the 1/2 formed, disordered enemy, it just came to mind unbidden!
