When it comes to wargaming bandwagons I am a lot like Corporal Jones from Dad’s army – always a step behind everyone else.
In my lead/plastic mountain I had two boxes of the original Perry Plastic ACW infantry and box of Zouaves. Where or how I acquired these I just cannot remember but I suspect at a bring and buy at a convention. I know I actually brought a box of Perry ACW Cavalry from Scott at Kapiti Hobbies some time ago that I converted into British Zulu Wars Auxiliary cavalry.
Anyway, late or not to this party, I have entered the wonderful world of 28mm ACW.
I decided to go with 24-30 figure regiments as standard. This is the firing line regiment.

Niiiiiiice! As I have just over 3.2 million projects in the go I am about a thousand steps behind you haha. I have long wanted to paint an army of union and confederate troops for gaming and/or dioramas etc.

I think this could be what I need to satisfy desire for flags and cool looking units without having to worry about painting collars and cuffs and piping.

I’m working on Sash and Saber ACW figures myself. These Perry’s look great and I think the S and S and Perry figures will go together on the tabletop.

I like Sash and Saber as well – from what I have seen. Been thinking of getting my dismounted cavalry from S&S.

A great start to a new project there Brian. Very smart indeed, and I fully understand the appeal of not having to paint facings for a while.

I have completed three regiments since the start of the year Lawrence – onto a fourth now. A mix of Redoubt and Perry in the same unit – they look OK I think but basing will tell I guess. Also just got a few Adventure Miniatures from Australia as a tester. Really like them – they do tower over the usual slender Perry’s though.

Those are rather nice. Reminds me of my old Britains figures.
Cheers,

They are a bit clunky and wooden but not too bad for all that – I have a regiment marching as well and they are even more ‘toy soldier’ like.
