Glad I won't be facing those mean B**s next month. Looking good Sean.

Had these done for a while but couldn't find my flags.

On sorting my bits for the SCW day, I stumbled on the flags so finished them off tonight.

This is the 'Battery '63' gamette set  from issue 5 of The Mill.

[Colonel Kilgore]

Ooh, very nice, Sean!

I know Confederates wore blue trousers to a certain extent early in the war (and officially a bit darker and richer than the Union trousers), but eventually they shied away from them for fear of friendly fire. It is nice to see this base of chaps with no blue trousers in sight.

Nice work, Sean 👍🏼

Can you bring that one along to WWW Sean?


I would like to play that with nicely painted figures

Didn't the Confederate forces capture a big warehouse full of Union uniforms?
Hence why there was a lot of "Uniforms" about for a while ?

Someone needs to play it enough to remind others how it works.  Your job Sean?

The image of the ragged rebel is something that has been dispelled over the years. The south certainly had supply issues early in the war. Some states had an over abundance of cloth, but refused to supply it to other states other than their own.

Towards the end of the war, there were reports that units were clothed fairly well as the trade lanes managed to get supply going from abroad again and that cloth got through to frontline units.

I can try! I've repurposed the off cut of a Geek Villain mat that I cut down for another RFCM game which is the perfect size for the gamette. A couple of trees and a bit of Civil War era fencing make it a nice looking little game.

I've painted a few more General figures for my AK47 collection.

I now have enough so each army in the book has a dedicated General base. Needed? No. But when does that ever stop as doing something?


I also found some prone professional looking troops with which I've added a whole unit, including a leader, not pictured here.

Finally, amongst the images below you'll see a base I call 'The Interrogation'. President Dr Chumbawumba has been caught making off with the silver and no has some questions to answer 😀

Very nice Sean

[Colonel Kilgore]

I admire the dedication to the cause, Sean. With AK47, you can just keep on going!

Simon

[Nick]

I really like those prone professional bases.

This is good Sean.
Shall I put them into a Generals parade for the MILL?
