Britians next ACW 150th anniversary set (1 Viewer)

[Warrior]

We're halfway through 2014 and no announcement yet as to what the 150th anniversary set for this year will be; any thoughts from collectors as to what they'd like to see?

I'd love to see the charge of the 140th and 146th NY Zouaves at Saunders Field in The Battle of the Wilderness.

The Charge of the VMI cadets at New Market with the movie due out in the fall would also be a good choice.

Any set based on a Rocco painting is fine with me; any thoughts?

I'd like to see the charge of the 1st Maine Heavy Artillery at Petersburg based on Don Troiani's painting "The Forelorn Hope"

On a side note, I'd like to see more earth work sections, with bomb proofs and inward angles.

How about something out West? Scenes from Troiani paintings for the Kennesaw, Siege of Atlanta, Jonesboro or Franklin? Something with the Kentucky Orphan brigade, Wilder's brigade, Pat Cleburne's men, Opdyke? Probably not this year but at least something close so that it can be converted. Hope this helps. Chris

I agree: the 1864 Sesquicentennial is the perfect opportunity to highlight the Western Theater!

I wonder if it will be related to Petersburg? The sneak peek pictures show a union Mortar.

I agree, looks like Petersburg and the campaigns out East. Last time I checked, they did not have that kind of siege guns out west. Oh well, maybe some western themes next time. How about some limbers? Maybe some hand to hand sets that can be used in both theaters? Chris
