Confederate Forces Progress Report

Having shown my progress with the Federals, it's probably about to share a pic or two of their ACW opponents. Here's the full collection as it stands:


Reading across the front row first we have, from left to right, two units of infantry skirmishers with an NCO in charge, and a line of Confederate pickets in rifle pits.

The second row starts with four groups of line infantry (with a fifth behind awaiting a sabot base). They are led by an officer and an NCO accompanied by a drummer. Then there are three groups of cavalry with a single officer (probably wants an NCO adding for true tactical flexibility) and the recently completed artillery unit.

Finally sat the back we have a few casualty figures, a general officer, a horse-holder base, and three units of dismounted cavalry. The last are deliberately done as irregulars as I think these will be most appropriate  opponents for my Mississippi Marine Brigade.

Close-ups below:

Guns and guerrillas!
