MORE ACW units!

My ACW odyssey continues. This week sees a Union regiment added...

 
...and a rather well dressed Virginia regiment that I based on the VMI cadets from the Battle of Newmarket that inspired me when I watched the movie “Field of Lost Shoes”.


Several more ACW units are in the pile.

    Very nice, you are a speed demon! :-) I am liking the single bases.

      Thanks Norm. Actually I have slowed down...and am currently working at half my normal rate! I am still not certain about the basing (which is why they are just tacked to a card base). I need a couple of trial games.

    Nice looking pair ACW units! When will you know if your basing works?

    Nice work again Mark. Hopefully it's not too long now before we are all gaming in person again - we have one penciled in for June 16th.

      Nothing scheduled yet. Technically we could go ahead now, but with our host in his 80s I am happy to delay a little longer.

    Good to see the VMI cadets take to the field. Watched the Field of Lost Shoes in the VMI Newmarket museum years ago. Excellent museum.

      Very jealous of that Jonathan. I never got to the Shenandoah. I did get to the now closed Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond way back in 1978.

      Thanks Aly. I was thinking of organizing a parade today, but about 3:00 pm I just stopped thinking. It’s a holiday weekend coming up, so maybe there is an opportunity...
