You see all the fantastic tables people put up and you want it like that. But you find you don't have the skill or the time to build it. This leads to fewer games since I plan and plan to try to find the best solution to make a nice looking table. Well this time I have set my mind up to get more games done. So I went back to some basic materials to get the battlefields done.<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I wanted woods with a canopy that troops could move through and hide under. Usually woods are represented by a couple of trees standing in an designated area. I still have to mark the edge of the woods but I hope that these larger areas will look more lika a forest than some scattered trees. The problem I faced was the cost. I used some cheap mdf for the base of the canopy. Then in the guides I had read they used woodland scenic material for the leafs. But that is expensive stuff! I got hold on some pillow stuffing really cheap (found it on my work...) my idea here is to thin wood glue with water and then dreanch the pillow stuffing in small balls in it. Put it on the mdf and let dry. My first thought was that I had thinn it to much but it stuck on. The next step is to get some dark green sprey and make a base coat on the canopy. And to round it of some pictures.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFT14TWDqS8G3yWNcM2lmW5eOvknWgRCl12Vc5rLFDc13RCZhJYn5YXGyuYE6QnPw0kenTvFzpUyBKVTJ4RZFaIVLCynRdgYFAefnoJk9tS_vnf2ArHk1k-ttbrX40He29IGDHzm2m-jM/s640/blogger-image-972052822.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFT14TWDqS8G3yWNcM2lmW5eOvknWgRCl12Vc5rLFDc13RCZhJYn5YXGyuYE6QnPw0kenTvFzpUyBKVTJ4RZFaIVLCynRdgYFAefnoJk9tS_vnf2ArHk1k-ttbrX40He29IGDHzm2m-jM/s640/blogger-image-972052822.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMeHsW_eaJrXZ6GjnDZjZWFsruhzV6wS3k0ujfLCDKnSEqd98oXZDsI-oA2ahaMbN-9K5qIVsKWntf5GVsRMc42qHaQzdr0dlaFF6glIrTYmM6-7ZM3QFN-WTIeJBJVMKREThGIUQ4nOo/s640/blogger-image--768570648.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMeHsW_eaJrXZ6GjnDZjZWFsruhzV6wS3k0ujfLCDKnSEqd98oXZDsI-oA2ahaMbN-9K5qIVsKWntf5GVsRMc42qHaQzdr0dlaFF6glIrTYmM6-7ZM3QFN-WTIeJBJVMKREThGIUQ4nOo/s640/blogger-image--768570648.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Hope I don't get lost in the woods.

The idea is to make a canopy that is raised from the table to simulate a wood and not single trees. I am trying to follow the guide on the Alter of Freedom homepage. I have made some slight changes but on the whole it is the same. Now I must find a store were I can buy material for the canopy and a hot glue gun.

I had only read the rules and never played them and my friend Fredrik had not read the rules so the first hour was dedicated to walk through the rules so both of us should have an idea of how they played. After that we took command of our forces. Fredrik commanded the confederate forces and I took command of the union.</div><div>I was to deploy my force on table and the confederates that was attacking should be moved on the table. There was rules that made me deploy thin to cover more space since I couldn't know were Fredrik would strike. The first turn he moved one division on to the field and I was responding to the threat.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnrRHiHl0ZRqyENuggWrqhpG4ISXLa0Y18LmcgWZ7K5kxuLYmpRkViRWH7m_plDlEi_xikj-jJUlE7pB7CHWVKXeSU25Uq6elXQO0F_f3D9OSTJa5cTF4OFC4-VTIFhTwCRbYGhra0TEc/s640/blogger-image-1279698708.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnrRHiHl0ZRqyENuggWrqhpG4ISXLa0Y18LmcgWZ7K5kxuLYmpRkViRWH7m_plDlEi_xikj-jJUlE7pB7CHWVKXeSU25Uq6elXQO0F_f3D9OSTJa5cTF4OFC4-VTIFhTwCRbYGhra0TEc/s640/blogger-image-1279698708.jpg"></a></div>Soon we realised that the board was to big for the rules so the movment was a bit to short. We decided to continue the battle despite this. But since a large part of the battlefield was covered with wood the going was really slow. We fought for some time and I lost a brigade so we called it a draw and agreed that we would try the rules again but on a more open battlefield.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRh9q7ErRmGsHY_27xP11h0WpXVCvcCBSAeoQh-X-wcEPzmys90KdaWT8LY4VCU8Y8PYRuugj94lbEJn2nJT5KUsdMIzkfCdIDhNCzAioue1g4C6O2WZI5_hzQbLRoCiYVEtCfrMwJZ1Q/s640/blogger-image--245212704.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRh9q7ErRmGsHY_27xP11h0WpXVCvcCBSAeoQh-X-wcEPzmys90KdaWT8LY4VCU8Y8PYRuugj94lbEJn2nJT5KUsdMIzkfCdIDhNCzAioue1g4C6O2WZI5_hzQbLRoCiYVEtCfrMwJZ1Q/s640/blogger-image--245212704.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9LIG3veKvI-kjhjmtVUV5i2-kOtq7xKfT9qEW7YE0ksvRl0tN9NmwEV9B4WGgF3qXDWnvwkGkFvuI9AVISHF88sHPpUyuuWSP0nqpEfUESxeB7m47qRnDkren9-oXB0PzEaQSmr7GjHE/s640/blogger-image-1496141080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9LIG3veKvI-kjhjmtVUV5i2-kOtq7xKfT9qEW7YE0ksvRl0tN9NmwEV9B4WGgF3qXDWnvwkGkFvuI9AVISHF88sHPpUyuuWSP0nqpEfUESxeB7m47qRnDkren9-oXB0PzEaQSmr7GjHE/s640/blogger-image-1496141080.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzpOEBbYilZnl-jB6-vgieVAlzCEzCyXjaJONcsDGyZOSGGD_zG9p8gPRp1lsCXv62Q6hVxLxLpAaVNNxghJNHrOaaBHLl3eTOvLdDmJZYVafz7FEiAUbr4HrB2Vpmy1ds-d9-Hd5Rm5s/s640/blogger-image-819679382.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzpOEBbYilZnl-jB6-vgieVAlzCEzCyXjaJONcsDGyZOSGGD_zG9p8gPRp1lsCXv62Q6hVxLxLpAaVNNxghJNHrOaaBHLl3eTOvLdDmJZYVafz7FEiAUbr4HrB2Vpmy1ds-d9-Hd5Rm5s/s640/blogger-image-819679382.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrEqjAAANAT-oqgU_UiXB8g8nPTgiB473k1nveHVb-lH1nxmV2TNLSrCxIzOhC9iLke0u1PdKEPw1z4aMHEgtGvbjnsGMVZP0nyO85RJtnXe56ZvoXZHOMl6qKyoAdClIDtiAUFV5y13Q/s640/blogger-image-925320820.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrEqjAAANAT-oqgU_UiXB8g8nPTgiB473k1nveHVb-lH1nxmV2TNLSrCxIzOhC9iLke0u1PdKEPw1z4aMHEgtGvbjnsGMVZP0nyO85RJtnXe56ZvoXZHOMl6qKyoAdClIDtiAUFV5y13Q/s640/blogger-image-925320820.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">As I usually use Volley and Bayonet for my civil war wargaming it was fun to test a new rule system. I was not convinced that this was a batter system than Volley and Bayonet but it had some interesting mechanics in it. The priority points bidding was nice. You have a number of points to distribute amongst youre divisions. The more points the more likely the division moves. I also liked the turn clock. The player that own the clock for the turn can dictate the pace of the turn. But the rules lack in explaning situations that can arise during a game. And the modifiers for shooting and close combat could have been better explained as when they was to be used and if it was for the defender or the attacker. The rules was all togheter fun and quick and I have to try them again to see if I can get some more tactics in.

Well I have had a bit of a painting depression lately. Not much have been done and I have to many projects bouncing around in my head and can't seem to start anything up. I also have a lot of projects just lying around and taking focus from me. It had been a lot of boardgames and card games instead. But in an effort to break the standstill I have made a list of things that needs to be done. Soon there is a large convention in Gothenburg and I have some things that needs to be finished for the convention. Hopefully my list will get me going. I will try to post here what has been painted and it is a lot of different things to say the least.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">
I will give you some pictures of the things I have painted. The miniatures are from Mantic Games and for the game Deadzone. Not the best miniatures but they are ok and easy to paint. </div>

And since work and family takes its time it goes slow with painting miniatures. But there are some light in the darkness! I am done with the miniatures for the Corinth scenario for Alter of Freedom and hopefully I will be able to play it soon and do an AAR of the game. I have also managed to do some work on the bases on my HHR miniatures.</div>

I will make a slight change to the blog also. My intention was to make this blog only about my ACW projects but... I am a wargamer and when I get a new magazines or find a new rule set or whatever inspires me I change focus, its sad I know but there you have it, just like a child in a toy store… So I will start to write about the project at hand is the idea here.</div>

Now that DBA 3.0 are coming I will probably fall for that one to… :) I have some armies all ready but I am very tempted to make new armies in 6mm. I have also started some Austrian Generals and officers for the Napoleonic wars in 10mm. They are from Old glory grand scale. I like these miniatures a lot. They are easy to paint and look good on the table.</div>

I have done some painting and prepared more Dixon miniatures. The focus has been to finish of the miniatures I need to play test the Corinth Scenario with the "Alter of Freedom" rules. I am getting close but I have a lot of real live stuff to take care of also. I know, many of us have that problem. I am not complaining I am just sharing with you all why it takes some time to get things done. I have also for the last two months explored other parts of the gaming hobby, this in the form of card games like "A Game of Thrones LCG" and "Star Wars LCG" and soon the new LCG 40K Conquest. I don´t have that much time to put into my hobbys since the kids needs help with homework, food must be put on the table etc etc, well you have to live to, don´t you :).<br />
<br />
Also a friend of mine have lured me into a new smaller project that we have been planing and now executing for some time. It is a miniatures game set in the world of Westeros and "Game of Thrones" in 6mm. Since this blog are about my ventures in the ACW you haven´t seen any of this here. Maybe in the future I will expand the content of the blog to also be about all of my crazy ongoing project that very rarely gets done... I am like a small child in the candy store and can´t really choose what I want so I go for everything. But ACW has been a long runner for me and I will soon return there in full.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures anyway of what I have done sone far.<br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Well my vacation is over and it is back to the mine. This does that a bit less are done in the basement but it is not standing still anyway. I have now almost cleared the whole room out and are going to buy paint for the celling at the end of the month. Doing this hobby and living in boxes is not a good combination…</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">But I still get some paint on the miniatures, but at the moment theres is almost only terrain for my 28mm on the agenda. I have done some more worm fencing, but damaged to give some variation to it. I have also started to make some rail fences. Only three at the moment but at least three more are to be done. They were a bit more complicated than the worm fence but not much.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I have also started to plan how to build the first house to this project. I was on a start up conference with work and found that they had small wooden sticks that you have in you're coffee to stir. The looked to be perfect to use for walls on model houses. I started to take a few every time I passed and I also got my colleagues to take some for me. Now I have a lot of those to build from :) I need to find were I can buy thees things since I think they will work very well to build from. In the past I have build houses from cardboard and it is a pain in the **** to cut out strips of cardboard to get to the walls. But I am still to test this so I will return on the matter.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Well now I have seven soldiers a side for my little skirmish project. Plus one rider for the south and a special character. On the painting table I have started one more rider for the South and a cannon with crew for the union. The cannon mostly fot the fun off it. But I will be able to use it in a game to if I want. So now that the troops are getting ready I need something to fight over and so the project goes in to another stage, the terrain. I started out with some simple wooden worm fence. My thought here is to make all the terrain myself and only buy the trees if I don´t find a good, simple way to do them to. I will make fences, stone walls and hedges. Then I will also make two to three buildings of varying size. Roads and small streams always piff upp the table a bit. Some hills or more elevations also needs to be done so the table wont be all flat. So you can imagine I have a lot to do but I won´t stress this and work on it to much since there are more things to do in life…</span></div>

I have now made six of them and it took about one hour to do them. Now I only need to base and paint them... I plan on make four more. I think ten will be enough to work with for now. I will make some picked fences and some rail fences to.</div>

Two more soldiers are done, one for each side. The confederate soldier are supposed to have a uniform in butternut. I think it works rather well but will try to not get that hard change in color from the base to the highlight.</div>

The union soldier are a sharpshooter so I gave him the green uniform to make him stand out a bit from the ordinary union soldiers. He has a sharps rifle that are classified as a good rifle in the rules and don´t misfire as easy as a springfield or an older rifle.</div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Soon the HQ:s for the confederates will be done for Alter of Freedom so soon I will be able to test the rules out. But HEY you scream only write HQ on a pice of paper and have a go at it! True, true I could do that but I don´t want to ;). I want to do it right whit all the components there so I get a nice experience when I test them. But I will make some rule amendment to the rules. The first one is to change the scale from inches to cm. This because my bases to Volley & Bayonet RtG are on bases that are 3x3cm. The base for a brigade in Alter of Freedom are 6x3cm so since my bases are nearly half the size I think I can do this without damage the rule system to much.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I hope that the rules will appeal to me. I like Volley & Bayonet a lot but the rules are poorly backed up by the author or anyone else for that matter so if you want to play ACW with the rules you need to do a lot of research by you're selfs since the rulebook don´t have any scenarios for ACW just for Napoleonic. There is a scenario book for ACW for the first edition of Volley & Bayonet. Old Glory in the US have the book for 18$ wich seems like a fair price to me. So I went there and put the book in the cart and pressed checkout. Then There were 3$ extra for handling. Ok 21$ I´m fine with that, no problem. Continued true the system and wrote the destination for the book, Sweden. And then I saw it… shipping 59.95$. So for a book that cost 18$ I would be made to pay 80.95$ for, nope I did not finish the buy… And I can´t find the book anywhere else either so I leave it at that.</span></div>

<br />
Now the heroes for my skirmish bands are done. My 25mm Dixon re-painting has taking over a bit on the painting table. This happens to me a lot, a project starts off as a side show to do when I need some distraction from the ordinary painting and then I find my self doing more on that project than the one I was supposed to do. Anyway at the moment I have prepared to do some more 10mm so I finally can do a play test of "Alter of Freedom". At least the labels for the Second battle of Corinth are done.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of the heroes...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">I also needed some characters that I could use in some scenarios. I had three miniatures at home from Wargames Foundry. They were meant to be for London 1890-ish but I thought that I could use them anyway so I went for it. The miniatures are a bit larger than the Dixon ones but since I base them individually I think it will work ok. One is done and the other two are to be base coated.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">I call him "The Imp". A fun miniature to paint with a lot of character to him. I went for neutral colors so I could use him for both sides. The same will go for the other two.</span></div>

Then I wanted to do some cards for the rules "Bonnie Blue". When the rules came out 1992 you had a A5 sheet were you recorded what you needed to during the game, like ammo, action points and wounds. I wanted to have cards for each character so I made some. I still need some more cards but most of them are done.</div>

I like to have the different things in my games to have the same theme. So I made to dice boxes that I could use to roll dice in. One for the union and one for the confederates. I also got some new dice for them. The colors is not right. I wanted a color more of olive green but it will do for now.</div>

Vacation and I always think that, now, NOW! I will get a lot done with my miniatures project. And every year are realize that it is not going to happen. The family goes on day trips and I own a house and there is always things to be done. But now and then I get to go down to the bunker and put some paint on the miniatures. At the I am working on some things that are not ACW. When I do paint some ACW it has been 25mm miniatures. I am doing some character miniatures that I can use in some skirmish gaming. Sadly I don´t have any terrain for 25mm yet and will have to do some to get to game with them. I have a scenario in mind and will do it as fast as I can. I will play the same scenario with three different rule sets and then present the results here.<br />
I have completed the re-painting of one confederate cavalry miniature. It was fun to paint but the horse have strange proportions. But they are Dixon both of them so here they are.<br />

The naval project slowly make progress but it was more difficult than I thought it would be. The first misstake that I did was to put the masts in place before painting. Now they are in the way all the time.<br />
<br />
I have started to do the HQ bases for Alter of Freedom rules and hopefully I will be able to test them out in a couple of weeks.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of my 25mm that are done for now.<br />

At the painting table now with my 25mm in mind are some characters in the form of officers. One for each side. I also have some civilians that I will paint. They are from The Foundry but will do as special characters before I get hold on some civilians from Dixon. The one to the left will be a confederate officer and the union will get the one to the right. They were both painted about 20 years ago.<br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Well I have at last started to paint some on the Hartford. I have done test paintings on the deck and trying to learn how to approach this kind of model. I have never painted ships before and not a ship with this many little details. I do not know what colours to use and I really don´t know what colours things should be. So you can understand that I have some trouble to get this going. But I have started to read about civil war naval warfare and am starting to learn. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I also keep painting on the 25mm Dixon miniatures. They are a joy to paint still and if I should be honest to you I paint a little to much on them... At the moment there is a cavalry miniature on the table. I have painted him as a confederate soldier with butternut jacket and brown pants. I am done with the trooper and have started on the horse.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I plan to use the Dixon miniatures in some sort of skirmish game. I have not decided on the rules jet. I will play a game of Bonnie Blue just for old times sake but after that I don´t know. O well you can have worse dilemmas than have rules to chose. At the moment I have three rule sets I want to try and hope I will be able to do that during the summer break.</span></div>

At the moment I am done with three more Dixon miniatures that I am re-painting. They are a joy to paint these miniatures with so much character and charm to them. I have also started to prepare some more so that I have more on the table for the times when I need a break from the other project. How does it go with the ships you might ask? Well not that well. I have never painted ships in this scale before and are unsure of how to proceed with it all. Should I prime them black, brown, red? I am a bit lost here. I have also searched the internet for what colors the USS Hartford had in 1860:s and found a lot of pictures with the ship in different colors so I also need to decide here also. I will return here as fast as I can with pictures of a ship! Next week will be ships week.<br />
<br />
Anyway here are some pictures of my new set of Dixon miniatures. Soon I need to decide what to do with them, or do I?<br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I have also begun to read the rules, River Wars in earnest to get a grip of what I needed. If I had been an organised person I would have read the rules first and chosen ships that there was stats for in the rules. But no... I had to buy ships that there was no data cards for in the rules. O well, I will figure it out some day. USS Cairo at least was in the rules. At the moment I have contacted a Scott Mingus that has a blog were he writes a lot about the rules and I hope he may have some advice for me, </span>http://scottmingus.wordpress.com/category/civil-war-wargaming/acw-naval-gaming/ .</div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I have started to assemble the USS Hartford since it was such a nice model. No bigger problems to put together but I have 6 guns, 2 large and 4 small that I don´t really know were to put on the model.</span></div>

O well I am trying anyway... I have now completed three more Dixon 25mm ACW. I also have three more on the painting table ready to get some paint on them. The three that are done are some union troops. When I have some more confederates I can start to test a small idea that I have, but more of that at a later time.<br />
Here you have some pictures of the miniatures:<br />

On the reading front I have now read all the books about Starbuck by Connolly that I had. I shall buy the last book in the beginning of summer to have a good read at the start of vacation. But at the moment I am reading Shenandoah 1862 by Peter Cozzens. I am only at the first chapter but it seems it will be a good read this to. </div>

I am also preparing some HQ bases for "Alter of Freedom". When they are done me and a friend will test the Corinth scenario with the rules. I have rather high hopes for these rules and hopefully they will deliver what I want. Until next time...</div>

<br />
It was really fun at GothCon, as it is every year. I had three scheduled demo games at the convention. Two on friday and one on saturday. I had people wanting to play every time. On the third game I had seven people taking care of one division each at it was glorious confusion all over the place, loved it and I think the players liked it to. On saturday I was asked if I could do one more game. We decided that we should have a go at sunday morning so at sunday I had one extra demo game for two people who was interested in the rules and game mechanics of Volley & Bayonet. I did not do the Corinth demo then but instead I tried the rules for setting up quick battles from the rule book. That opened my eyes to the possibilities of the rules for real. So now I have to paint some more troops, can´t have enough of them buggers.<br />
<br />
I am also preparing to do Corinth once more but with the Alter of Freedom rules. Hopefully it will happen in just a few weeks. Need to get some HQs done first.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures from GothCon:<br />

<br />
Now it is only seven days left to GothCon. All my miniatures are painted. The labels are done. I have done markers, fortifications and a turn table to keep track of the time. The battlefield are soon done to. The railroad are still left to do but I feel confident that I will make it in time. Next week I will start to re-read the rules and look up scenario specific rules. I am also preparing to do a play test of the "Alter of Freedom" rules to. They have a nice small scenario of Kernstown on their webbsite that I intend to do. But I need to paint some more troops before I can do it, as always you can never have enough troops. The only thing that is of concern here are that all my brigades are 3x3cm and the brigades for AoF are 6x3cm. Well you say just put to brigades together and it is done. Yes I could do that but then I would only have half of everything and then I must paint a lot more than I do now. So I will try the rules with smaller bases and hope it works ok anyway.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of some finished stuff.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The last miniatures that I needed for the scenario. I gave the cannons brass barrels to get some color to the artillery bases. I think it works fine.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All new markers that I have done. I will do more of these since I can use them to more rules than just Volley & Bayonet RtG. They were also rather simple to do and I hope they will enhance the gaming experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are some fortifications that I made. The town of Corinth was fortified by the confederates and when the town was captures by the union they used the defenses to. I made all these in the same length and think that I can use them in other scenarios when that time comes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is half of the board all done. The only thing that needs to be done are to varnish it all with a matt varnish. I also need to paint one more house for the town and that house is half finished at the moment. I also need to do some bridges but that wort take that long in this scale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

That was it for now so keep on gaming and maybe I see you at GothCon!</div>

<br />
Well now I have done some disorder markers and have enough miniatures to make 10 more. It aint no fancy stuff, just a wounded or killed soldier on a round base. I try to keep it simple so the markers will be ready for GothCon. This week the board had to stand back for the miniatures so that I get all the southern troops I need and the dismounted union cavalry. Hopefully the confederates will be done after this weekend and I can start to work with the board again. It is still only the railroads left but it is time consuming to do them in the way I have chosen.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of the new markers:<br />

The thought here is that these will also be used for "Alter of Freedom". But hopefully more about that later. After GothCon the plan is to do some games with these rules.</div>

This brigade is in trouble since it is routed. When the commander get it in order again the fallen soldier will be removed and the fallen banner be left on the base to mark it as permanently disordered and therefore very fragile and not much to count on for the rest of the battle.</div>

I have also found another company in the UK that does some ships for the ACW, http://www.redeagleminiatures.co.uk/acwunion.html. But they are in the 1/1200 scales therefore much smaller than the Peter Pig ones. But I can´t get any pictures of their ships so if anyone reading this knows anything about the company please tell me if it is a "yes" or a "no" ordering from this company.</div>
