Union Cavalry Finally Completed

 Originally I took this picture of my newly completed Union cavalry as a taster for the club's Cavalier Wargames Show game for tomorrow. Due to a family emergency I cannot now make it and have handed my troops to go on without me.

I am sure they will not let the side down as currently my Union forces for Rebels & Patriots have a 100% victory rate for the scenario being played. I am sure the war correspondent accompanying the troops will soon be waxing lyrical with tales of "valor (sic) and glory"!

White Knuckle Ride

Much as I like artillery on the wargames table I often wonder how much fun it would have been to turn up in the day. Dodging potholes in my daily commute is an art even with 21st Century technology. These chaps had no suspension at all.

The ACW wargames show figures continue to amass. This little group completes my artillery contingent for the upcoming show. From now on it is cavalry all the way.

Let's hope that La-De-Da Gunner Graham* doesn't get thrown off before he can give them effective support.

* Apologies this is a very British reference to people of a certain age. 

Oh dear. What a shame. Never mind.
