ACW-20 Zouaves in kepi, advancing/attacking painted as 14th Brooklyn

Turned into
(http://www.forward-to-richmond.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/14th-NYSM-14th-Brooklyn.png)
The colour guard was given some selective surgery to keep from poking eyes out with the flag poles. 14th Brooklyn should actually not have the harem pants of zouves but slim fit chasseur pants, but this unit goes under the heading of "close enough".

The regimental flag in the photo is available at 14th Brooklyn – 14th New York volunteers (http://www.forward-to-richmond.com/2013/08/06/14th-new-york-volunteers/). The national flag is modified from http://www.krigsspil.dk/download/acw/fed_11_var.jpg.

I see a picture of the figures from the Pendraken webstore then the words "Turned into" then a note about the colour guard.

Clearly I'm missing something .... unless this is the wargaming equivalent of the "Mornington Crescent" game from Radio 4?

It took me two attempts to see it Ith.

Unless you are using the Paddington subway clause on the Piccadilly Line reroute card, only available in the 1996 rules upgrade pack.

Hah...someone's just done a tweak.

Found them. Very nice indeed. How I wish I hadn't invested squillions in 15mm ACW over the last 30 years, but the damage is done!

This is my first 10mm project and I love that it looks like a unit and yet with some individuality to the figures. At the scale we use most regiments are five bases, around 600 men.
