Wearing uniforms should be compulsory for all soldiers at all times; soooooo much faster to paint!

Having painted AWI Militia and having twice as much left to paint I couldn't agree more  :)

But the variation does look good on table.... :-S

I must admit that a few figures in different poses/costumes help to alleviate the tedium somewhat.

True, but the look of a Confederate brigade in butternut/gray, with slouch hats in every different shade and some kepis mixed in, wearing blankets all of different design and colour will never be beaten by any Yankee brigade in blue. But then again; that could be personal... ;)

I may do a Cossacks vs Russians game this weekend; seems thematically appropriate right now.

I'm sure you'd look cuter in a Zaporozhian Cossack uniform. ;)
