A Second ACW Confederate Brigade

Here are the fruits of a few months of "little and often" painting that I find really works for this period. The units aren't really "organised" in the usual sense in that I have a number of command bases as you can see below to which are added as many infantry bases as I need to make up the unit sizes for the game. In the rules we are using this can vary from 4 to 8 bases (occasionally a little more, but rarely less). This batch is 4 regiments of 6 bases each (representing 360 real men); it could equally be made up into a regiment of 4 bases, 2 more of 5 bases and a large regiment of 10 bases. This is the advantage of ACW, where the uniforms for the vast majority of troop types are indistinguishable, all you need is a command base and take it from there - very flexible.

As usual, the rank and file are Perry plastics and the command are mainly metal figures from the same source with a few plastics from the box thrown in. Overall, they look nice, even with a fairly routine paint job. Flags are GMB.
