ACW - Attrition of the Rank and File (1 Viewer)

[mestell]

Found a little time this evening to create another scene. The 4th Irish Regiment (28th Mass) is advancing toward the Peach Orchard and the rank and file is getting lean from the enemy fire. You can almost hear the sargeants shouting, "Dress on the colors, close up the ranks, forward men . . ."

Mike,

You can almost feel the bullets flying overhead.

Love your display and backgrounds - WONDERFUL

Of course I am a little partial to scenes of Yankees get shot

Another excellent scene Mike. Nice background scenery and action. Well done mate.

The file closers are fighting a lost cause! Beautiful scene, as always.

Excellent work. I love the touches like the guy hesitating in the back with the file closer and the other guy just giving up and running for the rear. Great action.

Looks like your 'The Chosen Ground' diorama base has been useful lately. A great set up again Mike!
All the Best,

Missed these Mike and glad I found them. Nicely staged and photograph. Sure looks like the Yanks from my home state are in for it

What all sets and/or single figures are in this?
I recognize most.

These are all WB sets except for one, which is Conte #ACW57168 "Irish Brigade Casualties". The WB sets are #17933, 17805, 31046, 17934, 17897, 17888, 17864, 17833, 17664 in whole or in part.

Just a reminder... the file closer and men hesitating/ running away are from sets that are retired, but still in small supplies at W. Britain. This was one of the more unusual pair of sets that Richard agreed to produce. They can be pretty useful to add a realistic human touch to dioramas as Mike has done here.
