Berdan's Sharpshooters

With football season over I will now have more time to continue my 1864 hypothetical Valley Campaign.

In preparation I have added a company of Berdan's Sharpshooters to employ when and where it is possible.

These were painted as federal skirmishers in blue but a quick dab with some green has sent them into the ranks of Berdan's elite troops. In truth I just wanted to add some color to the drab Federal blue.

Completed 6mm Federal Division

After a short delay due to a vacation I completed the first federal division to re fight the 1862 valley campaign.

The figures are baccus, based on a 60 x 40 base.

Regiments on parade. 3 brigades of 4 regiments each. 8 artillery batteries.  One battery base contains 2 guns.

Brigades marching to the attack. Front brigades were my experiment at adding more detail. Although I like the diorama effect I passed on using it for the other units and just based them. I will put officers and skirmishers on each base.
