American Units

     Yes, I admit that I am not the best painter in the world, but as a fellow gamer told me at Cangames last year; "If they look good from three feet away, that's all that matters".

     So here are pics of the American units I will be using.  As with all my figures, they are 1/72 plastic, painted with craft paint and put on homemade bases of cardboard and corrugated vinyl, with the bases then sprinkled and glued with mulched up moss from the Dollar store.  That old coffee grinder finally came in handy!

     Also, just a few other comments regarding the figures... 


     In Lasalle, it is mentioned that the Commander marker have the Commander and his aide placed on it, and the Subcommander bases have just the officer (I would assume mounted).  However, due to the size of my bases (40mm lengths, square), and the size of the figures, I decided to just have the Commander bases with one mounted officer, and the Subcommander bases with one unmounted officer, which you will see below.

Commander, Objective marker, Subcommander

     I used AWI figures for both the American militia and the artillery unit, not out of ignorance, but due to lack of period appropriate figures at the moment, and because I do like the look of them.  I am sure I will have to change them up if I ever play at a club meeting, etc..

American Militia (for now)
