American Civil War that is\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t really figure out why I\u2019m suddenly hooked on ACW war games, but I am. I have a few projects in progress and have ideas for another one or two.<\/p>\n<p>The two figure scales I am working with are N-Gauge and 40mm. N-gauge are getting new production molds (and are on sale this month). The 40mm molds have been done for a while (but I might add a couple more, just to make production easier) and are on sale this month as well\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Ross Macfarlane pointed out that the website did not have the full listing of 40mm ACW figures, so I\u2019ve fixed that and I\u2019ll post the 40mm figure listing at the end of this post.<\/p>\n<p>My 40mm project is a rather simple one \u2013 individually based figures and I\u2019ll be using a The Sword and the Flame like set of rules. Still need to fully define the rules, but I\u2019m getting there.<\/p>\n<p>The N-gauge project is still taking shape, but I want to do big battles, so I\u2019m looking at a figure ratio of 1:33 or maybe 1:50. Units will be 2 or 3 stands (depends on which ratio I go with). The game rules will be \u201cold School\u201d in nature, maybe I\u2019ll borrow bits from Scruby\u2019s Fire and Charge as well as Zocchi\u2019s Hard Tack. At least that\u2019s what I\u2019m looking at doing right now, things may change\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I do have a couple more ACW themed projects in mind (neither is started just yet). One is nothing but new figures. I have no game plans for the figures, just some new figures. The other project is both figures and a game \u2013 new rules and new figures. Think Action; think Heroes, or at least heroic deeds.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be sure to chronicle my progress on the Table Top Talk website, so give me a few weeks and check in to see how the projects are going\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/historifigs.com\/catalog_images\/40T-59.jpg\" alt=\"40T-59 - Kepi, Attacking with bayonet\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>40mm Soldiers of the American Civil War<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Infantry in Kepi, Full Field Packs<\/strong><br \/>\n<code>40T-58\t\tStanding, Firing<br \/>\n40T-59\t\tAttacking with Bayonet<br \/>\n40T-62\t\tMarching at the Slope *<br \/>\n40T-63\t\twith Blanket Roll, Marching *<br \/>\n40T-66\t\twith Blanket Roll, Advancing at Full Port *<br \/>\n40T-102\tOn Guard *<\/code><\/p>\n<p><strong>Infantry in Slouch Hat, Full Field Packs<\/strong><br \/>\n<code>40T-60\t\tStanding, Firing<br \/>\n40T-61\t\tAttacking with Bayonet<br \/>\n40T-64\t\tMarching at the Slope *<br \/>\n40T-65\t\twith Blanket Roll, Marching *<br \/>\n40T-67\t\tAdvancing at High Port *<br \/>\n40T-103\tOn Guard *<\/code><\/p>\n<p><strong>Officers and Artillerymen<\/strong><br \/>\n<code>40T-69\t\tOfficer, Kepi, Frock Coat, pointing<br \/>\n40T-70\t\tOfficer, Kepi, Frock Coat, Firing Pistol<br \/>\n40T-68\t\tArtilleryman, in Kepi, standing<br \/>\n40T-76\t\tArtilleryman, in Slouch Hat, standing<\/code><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cavalry (Rider with separate walking horse)<\/strong><br \/>\n<code>40TC-71\tCavalryman in Kepi **<br \/>\n40TC-73\tCavalryman in Slouch Hat **<br \/>\n40TC-72\tCavalryman in Kepi, firing carbine from saddle **<\/code><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cavalry (Rider cast on galloping horse)<\/strong><br \/>\n<code>40TC-74\tRider in Slouch Hat, attacking ***<br \/>\n40TC-75\tRider in Kepi, attacking ***<\/code><\/p>\n<p><em>Figures marked with * require some assembly &#8211; includes a separate arm or rifle<br \/>\nFigures marked with ** require some assembly &#8211; includes a separate arm (pistol and rifle)<br \/>\nFigures marked with ** require some assembly &#8211; includes a separate arm (saber, pistol and rifle)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For some reason, I\u2019ve caught the Civil War bug!
