Future "Art of War" Set????? (1 Viewer)

[Lo1863]

I think Britains should do an "Art of War" based on this painting done by Keith Rocco (http://www.keithrocco.com/inventory/details.php?productid=56). It would be a great release for next year with the 150th Gettysburg coming up. Plus I really feel that General Richard B. Garnett deserves a release from some figure line. His past before Pickett's Charge was very sad as he was accused of cowardice by General Jackson in 1862. At Gettysburg he rode at the head of his troops on horseback to redeem his reputation which made him the perfect target. Please look up the story and I think we can agree he did the right thing. Anyway...just a thought.

I think that's a great idea!! Poor Garnett had to die in a "manly" fashion in order to clear his name and restore honor. Definitely one of the old "Virginia Gentlemen" til death...like old RE Lee. I would also LOVE to see a figure depicting Chamberlain's charge at Rives's Salient during the Petersburg Campaign. Chamberlain's brigade flag bearer was shot so Chamberlain grabbed the flag and lead his men up the breastworks. Great story. http://books.google.com/books?id=oK9uav2oqSsC&pg=PA189&lpg=PA189&dq=chamberlain+at+rives+salient&source=bl&ots=3WibUnKL5T&sig=yfxgruhMzp-i724xYDPUVXSF__I&hl=en&sa=X&ei=BqCFUOz1D-SzygH26oHYAQ&ved=0CFkQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=chamberlain%20at%20rives%20salient&f=false
