To date, I've only visited Cowpens once and in the summer, but the groundwork very much reminds me of Don Troiani's depictions of the battle.

Do you have Britain's 2000 version of Col. Shaw charging? I just spotted one online today really marked down.

Good catch!

It's always the more, the merrier when it comes to the Art of War series. I'll definitely need the Ranger. At the top of my Art of War wish list is 1812 Ohio rifleman: https://www.wbritain.com/product-store/1st-regt-ohio-militia-1812-capt-j-collins-rifle-co

#2 man is correctly loading the round charge-first. The charge and the projectile are strapped together.

Given that #2 is inserting a round into the bore, it would be better if #1 was using the ramming end of the rammer instead of the sponge.

Specifically, the Tiger Rifles, one of five companies in Wheat's 1st Special Battalion. The other four companies had different uniforms.

I thought I would only be admiring these trees from afar, but then I walked into The History Store this past Saturday night. There was a special sale as part of the Britain's Symposium, and the rest is history!

I checked out the FL Union cavalry here on Treefrog, and nothing jumped out at me as more Hollywood than history. The US cavalry shell jacket had plenty of yellow trim, which makes them stand out. Actually, for all their license, the John Ford cavalry films sometimes show an authentic mounted...

You're right. Much like the K&C's Reb cavalry, they're pretty much wearing the uniform straight from Confederate regulations. I'm not sure any Rebel cavalry unit were ever issued that uniform, nor can I imagine any such unit being perfectly uniformed by 1863. I just didn't want to be the first...

The 11th Ohio is one of the premiere cavalry units in reenacting. Not surprisingly, the answer is to hitch up your saber just as an officer on foot would do. Wearing a sword with the hilt forward is for when you are mounted.

Yes, if they were already wearing them while mounted (instead of having them strapped to their saddles), they would still be wearing them.

This is great news for me! I was hoping for a brass 6-pounder to go with the Mexican War flying artillery gun crew I've been working on.

Just ordered one from Treefrog!

Not to but in, but it's the plastic BMC version of the Leister huse.

I don't have much of a WWII collection or any Mars, but I think I should grab this set. Are Mars guys "true" 1:32 or are they closer to the new, bigger side of the scale?

Beautifully and authentically set up!

I ended up buying the two mounted officers, plus WB's mounted Stonewall, based on a past photo you shared, Mike. :D

I preordered the two inspired by the Duke just last night. These will be my first Black Hawk guys.

It's amazing how few options we have in terms of loose weapons for 1/32-1/30 scale. We're mostly reliant on TSSD accessories, which are pretty good, but there's still more options we need.
