ACW 15mm Bits and Pieces 1

 

I have been finishing up on my ACW Project.   

 

Nothing big but all useful stuff to have.  I’ve added to the command bases. 

You can see both Confederate and Union here.   

 

The figures are a mixture of Battle Honours, QRF and Peter Pig.

I may add some individual Brigadiers.

The first of the horse holder bases page top.  These figures are from Battle Honours as was. I have enough for another 3 bases. I’ll likely add another 4 from Peter Pig.

The first of my Coloured infantry units using Peter Pig, QRF and MJ figures.  I intend a second unit.

Next, I have more limbers to do, some slaves or freed slaves and more horse holders.  Also, the final base of the Louisiana Tigers.

 

Speaking of final bases I finally got these fellows finished.  The New York Fire Zouaves above.

You will note I've added Battle Command by Brent Oman to the tags.  I have a copy and I am looking forward to trying the rules out.

ACW Confederate Infantry Brigades 15mm

 

I had started out with the intention of having 3 infantry brigades.  Now, it seems I’ll have 5 in total. 

Mainly QRF with some Peter Pig and Minifigs command.

This one is defending.

All are very good figures.  The brigades are more or less generic and will also,hopefully, pass as the Army of North Virginia.

 

Louisiana Tiger Zouaves from QRF.  I've had these ones since the Outrage at Forde's Theatre or then abouts.

I've been pretty selective in my choice of QRF figures that said I'm very pleased with the ones I chose.  I've also been very impressed with the Minifigs that have come my way via ebay.  

Single pose (ish) for sure but they will mix nicely.  Here's another.  

 

 The final regiment of my current effort.

Here are the Commanders.

That is my ACW Project done for the moment.  Rescued from neglect and oblivion.  

I can now play some ACW games-at last.  Mission accomplished, for the moment.

 

ACW Confederate Cavalry and Artillery 15mm

 

More progress on my ACW Rescue Project.  Today, we have the cavalry and the artillery for the Confederacy.  There will be another battery of two guns.  I’ve used a mix of figures.

Here are the artillery.   

Guns from QRF, Gunners and limber from Peter Pig. 

Once again, I commend Martin on this limber and crew. I have 2 of them for this brigade.

Now the cavalry, one from Battle Honours, two from QRF. 

I chose to do two Virginian and one Texas regiments. 

From "Use your pistols like gentlemen." to "Stick to your sabres."

Here they are dismounted, all Battle Honours. Morale is getting shaky, maybe someone's spotted Braxton Bragg.

Horse holders to follow. I seem, again, to have a glut of the latter.

I’m aiming for a cavalry brigade of three regiments with a battery of two guns in support.   

 

I’ll post a pic when I’m done.

Next up, the Confederate infantry brigades.
