28mm ACW Union Brigade

Much progress has been made on the ACW front as hopefully you've seen from our previously posted battle report using our new rules called This Hallowed Ground.  As a follow up to that battle report, here is one of a few posts I'm doing covering the completed "brigades" for each side.  Of course, the actual order of battle for a brigade can vary from battle to battle, but for the purposes of building the armies we are building in "brigades" that see 1 x brigade commander, 5 x infantry units and 1 x artillery unit completed.  Special thanks to Steve Dake for doing the majority of the paint work here.

Below you'll find three regiments from the Irish brigade combined with the 20th Maine and 5th New York.  I've also included pictures of one of the army commanders.  The Iron Brigade is also complete and will be covered in a separate posting.

Next up will be Armistead's brigade for my Confederate army.

      Thanks! Yup, seems to be just right for the massed and rough lines you see in all the paintings and such.

    Echoing everyone above! The command bases look fantastic. Really like how you can push your bases together - seemless! And really like how the 3 artillery bases push together to make a nice vignette.

      Thanks Ivor ... I had a specific look and feel I was going for and I'm really happy with the result ... I was thinking of the blocks of infantry advancing at the end of the Gettysburg movie. I also have always wanted to have a bit of a vignette style for my artillery units (for Napoleonic's ... but I would have way too much work to do to go back and do that ... but it worked out for ACW).

      Hello Paul, all my flags are from GMB Designs. Or did you mean the flag holder? That is the standard bearer from the Perry Miniatures plastic cavalry set ... I use cut down 80mm wire pikes from Warlord Games for the actual poles as the stock Perry poles are not long enough.
