How large will your units be? They look very nicely based and should give you lots of satisfaction. Which paints will you be using? I have found that if you want to paint a North Carolina regiment or two you can get away with using a blue gray color from Vallejo for the jackets and a variety of colors for the trousers and hats. The Foundry acrylics are good for these as well. Salve, Gerardus Magnus
I am using a set of rules which appeared in 1969 and they use regimental units of 27 figures. As regards paints I do not use acrylics (except for metallics) but old style enamels (Humbrol). Interesting about the blue grey for North Carolina. I think it is a unit at a time at present!
Great to see you back on the real civil war, not that English family scuffle!
