I completely empathize as both space and my age dictate my collecting strategies.....

Like you, my age is also another factor in my collecting. I am 72, soon to be 73. For me, the older I get, collecting anything is starting to loose its luster . . .

I thought I sounded ok on those recordings.................................

That would explain why the narrator says that the Union defeat was all the Patriots fault. Albeit in a satirical way. I always thought that was a glitch.

I just realized that the red circle on the top of their kepis is a corps badge (1st Corps, 1st Division) that was not used until 1863 right before the Gettysburg Campaign. For a First Bull Run scenario, the red circle should not be there. I have sent John an email with this information hopefully so that he can make the change if time permits and he wants to do. Otherwise, a small dab of a properly tinted blue would be an easy fix for those collectors creating a Bull Run diorama.

Good catch!
I definitely want these for the Bull Run campaign.

The 1st Corps badge on the kepi doesn't bother me, it looks quite fitting. - Now if it was, lets say a blue crescent moon of the 11th Corps, well that would be darn right criminal.
