Yankee Command

Here is the command element of the Yankees in overcoats. Those Wargames Foundry chaps sure do make some nice miniatures!

More Yankees

I am not sending about 24 miniatures to Sri Lanka...instead I'll be painting them...namely because they are an easy paint job...Yankees in their overcoats. I completed the first element of 4 last night. Tonight, I'll attempt to complete another element of 4, the command element. It has a drummer, two standard-bearers and an officer. Here's a pic of the first element.

Yankee Army Command

I recently acquired some Wargames Foundry miniatures for the American Civil War. While I'll be sending about 200 infantry off to Sri Lanka for painting, I decided to make a command element for my Union Army and Confederate Army. I was without this level of command for my wargames...until now! Here is the Union command. Yes, the central miniature is of Grant, but in my case he is simply a Yankee general. I really like the general in the kepi, he is holding his pocket watch in his right hand - no doubt wondering why the attack planned for this hour has not yet started. After trying to decide which corps flag to place onto the stand, I decided that I would go off-road and pick a rare number (24th, yes there was a 24th Corps) and a non-historical symbol (the six-pointed star).

Yankee Flags

Here are some Union National Colors and Regimental Flags for 25MM troops. Gonna work on some rebel flags too.

  

Zouaves!

Here are the first three stands of some zouaves. I gave them a neutral flag so that I play them on either side. The miniatures are Redoubt (and fit in very well with the other miniatures in the collection).

Yankee Regiment

Here is a Yankee regiment from the 28MM ACW collection I recently began. No regiment in particular, despite the presence of a regimental mascot. One of my buildings and some fencing can be seen in the back.

I hope to play the "Black Powder" rule set with these miniatures. We recently played a 15MM test game and liked the rules. Of course, I need to play a few more times before I can really appreciate them. A Friday night in January is the next game. Miniatures are Old Glory.
