So they were responsible for the carnage. I shall give them the bayonet! A very nice photo Titus. I really like the backdrop picture you used. The trooper was a nice gift. I hope WB expands their cavalry offerings in 2010.

Michael, cannister shot in the briefest of explaination is basically a tin can full of large lead balls. It was used at close range as an anti-personnel round. Extremly divestating to troops in massed formations.

Michael, picture cannister shot (also called case shot) as a huge shotgun shell. When fired the tin can fell apart releasing its content of lead or steel balls in a big fan. It could really put a hurt on troops. Here's a picture . . . . Mike

Mike I will not let you take the gun! Iron Brigade Charge!!

Well it looks like Mikes Confederates are on the run.

Im looking forward to that Chosen Ground set. These Iron brigade figures are really nicely done.

So what you are really saying LT is that "all's fair in love and war" As you can see from this series of photos, the Southern Cause is not lost yet. "Turn their gun! Turn their gun and use it on the Yanks!" A determined effort by a few stalwart Southern boys . . . . . . Mike
