Hey all!

Just finished adding the grass to my latest acw troops, just a few bases of infantry but took some pictures none the less.

just some basic infantry, painted these up to make some of my battalions bigger:




Some examples of the big battalions:



Also made some break point trackers, handy to have when you are working with big break points:



And i think i'll have to stop now, because the containers ar full (i have another one filled with skirmishers and dismounted cavalry):

There's too little infantry for that amount of cavalry, you need a couple more containers  ;) ;D

Nice looking forces, Peter.  But stop?! Please - we never stop! Observation balloons, Gatling guns, Clara Barton with an ambulance.... :)

Very nice - the blues really contrast well with the basing.  8)
And I agree with above comments - get more boxes.  :D

That looks to be a very good set up. How I wish such nice 10mm had been around thirty years ago when I began to heavily invest in ACW.

Good stuff Peter.

You were just posting the boxes thing to get affirmation from us all that more is better?

No, i really am tight on storage space  ;D

But everybody seems to think ineed more.

Well, i don't have any zouaves yet  :-\


Now in all honesty, i wanted to go with 5 bases for every infantry unit, but i think i will leave it as it is for now. i have a mix of 5 base, 4 base and 3 base units. Perfect to represent Big and small battalions. I like the 5 base look though, really looks like a formation (they have 40 miniatures each), but starts to get cramped on the table. The frontage of that big unit is 20 cm, so if i make them all this big and put them all in line i would cover 1,60 m without any gaps  ;D ;D ;D

I'm very happy i started with 10mm for historicals. Means i never have to change  ;D

Although i have about every scale but nothing in 15mm  :-\

Spot on

The more I game with 10mm the more I think it looks just right

I have loads of 15mm ACW plus the terrain. I keep thinking about flogging them and restarting with this range

Do it! You know you want to!

I really like the break point tracker idea - well executed.
