10mm ACW CSA Infantry

Here is a project that has seen no activity on the painting desk since mid-2013!  Yikes!  Has it really been that long since the last unit for the 10mm ACW project crossed the painting desk?  Indeed, it has.

On the gaming front, this project seems to have been orphaned as well.  At one time, we seemed to game with these little fellas frequently.  Battles fought included Stones River, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Manassas, Cedar Mountain, and more recently, Port Republic.

In an effort to rekindle interest, off the painting desk are 60 Old Glory CSA infantry.  Each stand holds two, five man strips.  Since I use two rules with these figures, the basing must accommodate both.

For Republic, two stands comprise roughly one brigade.  These 60 figures combine to produce three, 20 figure infantry brigades.

For the other rules, Regimental Fire & Fury (RFF), these same 60 figures produces one, 12 stand regiment.  With two ranks mounted on one stand, each of my, double-ranked stands becomes two RFF stands.

RFF basing

For RFF, each stand can sustain two hits before being removed.  In addition, I use the number of flags remaining to denote troop effectiveness (fresh, worn, spent).  A Fresh regiment begins with three flags.  That way, troop effectiveness can be determined at a glance. 

I should consider getting this collection back onto the gaming table in 2015.
