Lots of progress has been made on the ACW front. 5 units of Confederate infantry and 5 units of Union (Iron Brigade) infantry are in the process of being based. Roy Scaife is busy at work with these units but it is a major step forward for our initial ACW goal of 10 infantry units a side with 2 artillery units a side (enough to get us gaming using the Black Powder rules ... 2 brigades with artillery per side). More of course to come ... our "wave 2" effort will double the unit counts ... and wave 3 adds cavalry. Pictures below of the new units (work in progress).
Note: Confederate flag poles are being swapped out for longer poles ... Roy is getting around to that shortly.
