Rose ACW Confederate artillery

This gives me the figures needed to do the 3rd battle in Battles with Model Soldiers (plus a spare gun).

 

Two guns with crews in an assortment of uniforms.

Again, wargames standard with little detail but fit for it's purpose.

Although I have masters for the limbers I didn't have a mould made. As a wargaming expedient/experiment I've put 4 horses on DBX cavalry bases to see if it works - should do. A couple of the horses have needed a couple of places touched up since this photo - hadn't noticed that some paint had rubbed off.

That gives me enough troops to complete my current 'requirement' though will do more later.

Rose ACW Confederate cavalry

And now for a major drop in standards...

As it says on the box, cavalry squadron plus general.

 

As also stated, major drop in standards - didn't even get round to painting gloves and pistol!

 

On the other hand they match my criteria for these - basic wargames standard.

 This means that, when I get round to it, I can now do the first two scenarios from Battles with Model Soldiers.

The Confederates

Two regiments done. Considering I hadn't expected to start these before the New Year, I'm quite happy with that.

 

So I suppose my New Year priority is to complete the artillery and  cavalry for them.
