What a treat...excellent thread. Captivating

Wade Hampton evolved into a very effective Confederate cavalry commander. Would really like to see a roll out by John of some of the Legion's cavalry in both mounted and dismounted settings. His led units achieved considerable notoriety during the ACW.

I like the fact that a manufacturer is actually depicting the ACW and doing so on a consistent basis. I believe early war (1861- mid 1863) ACW depictions are much more colorful and interesting. As the conflict wore on the troops usage and deployment evolved so did the uniforms, the tactics etc...

Looks like three new figures added per their website. Brian: Order placed. You are the only manufacturer making Rebel cavalry. Keep up the good work. Maybe do some dismounted troopers?

The stereotypes that some post about Las Vegas are beyond comprehension. I have lived here fifty years and it never ceases to amaze me how a city that is incredibly advanced culturally and socially has to have outsiders brand us as something less than what they are. A good portion of VGK fans...

Marc-Andre Fleury= Gold standard amongst NHL goaltenders.

Go Knights Go!

Let's just say that the Sharks handed Vegas its first ever playoff loss with some extraordinary help from Referee Kelly Sutherland and the keystone cops who man the controls at the NHL "situation room" in Toronto. Jonathan Marchessault's goal in the first overtime was emphatically a goal but...

Interesting Terry: Actually I am a native of Detroit. Original six fan. Used to watch the Red Wings on UHF Channel 50 and the Leafs (listened to Bill Hewitt-Foster's son) or Canadiens (Danny Gallivan) every Saturday night CKLW Channel 9 out of Windsor. My hockey observations go back to as far as...

The story of the 2017-18 NHL season is clearly about the emergence of it's 31st franchise: the Vegas Golden Knights. Knowledgeable hockey fans can appreciate billionaire Bill Foley, a graduate of West Point (made his fortune at Fidelity National) who put up $400 million of the $500 million...

Some Rat Patrol scenes were filmed right here in Las Vegas. In my youth there used to be a US made M-3 tank that sat on the lot at old ATF studios on Spring Mountain Road in Las Vegas. It was painted Afrika Korps desert tan and had all era symbols painted on it. Apparently the half track's claim...

The M-8 armored car is a real nice piece as well.

Chris: Exquisite photo. WWII circa cavalry.Good stuff. That M 5 Stuart tank with the hedgerow teeth is one cool tank. Wasn't it powered by twin Cadillac V-8's and an automatic transmission? In fact I think that same engine design was incorporated/upgraded into the M-24 Chaffee that also utilized...

I would like to see these guys create a significant line of circa 1918 WW1 troopers with a specific focus on close quartered, hand to hand, trench fighting encounters on the western front: AEF, BEF, French and Imperial German. Utilize close quarter fighting equipment and weapons: Bergmann's...

Most ACW centric manufacturers are oblivious to making Rebel Cavalry in both mounted and dismounted forms despite repeated promises that something is in the works. Disappointing, baffling, misleading, glaring omission etc. Bottom line is that the others do CSA infantry and artillery but seem...

Brian: Why not another rollout of say four or five more mounted Mosby figures? The previous two sets were both excellent well painted figurines. Good sculpts, fairly accurate. Can we see this happen in 2018?

Bob: Fantastic work....incredible accuracy of an incredible ACW battle. This depiction is really one of the best you have done.

Grey hat figure is James Longstreet. Tan hat is John B. Hood.

I would agree with Chris that in addition to limbers, teams and riders are most needed to effectively depict ACW horse artillery. Horse artillery in the ACW personified lighter, mobile and quick firing units augmenting in many cases cavalry deployments and actions. Unlike field artillery the...

This is an excellent thread that you started. I like the fact that you are articulating and explaining the deployment and use of limbers and caissons in actual ACW battlefield situations. It is not out of bounds to coax and motivate a manufacturer to design and produce ancillary products to...
