Most CSA troops never even owned slaves, that was reserved for the wealthy southerner. And to call them traitors? That is very insulting to the thousands of CSA troops who fought and died for what they believed in. That would be like judging Brazil's population as a whole to be drug dealers who supply the world with 85% of its cocaine. Not very fair is it? Please read a book before you post next time. You have just convinced me to delete this blog from my list and I will be recommending that all of my friends do the same. To allow such foolishness to be posted in the first place is ridiculous! And just to put it out there, I live in Northern USA and I don't know a single person who feels that way so why should you?

I ordered the sampler from pico-minis today and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I'm thinking about using the suckers for 1:1 Black powder games, maybe with some rules changes to represent various levels of command. It's time for some hot 1:1 corps-on-corps action!!!!Forward March Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794429683916498343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784390992211969614.post-16822938491251917612011-02-10T07:04:15.641-08:002011-02-10T07:04:15.641-08:00Thad sez:

Having used a thin-nosed wire clippers on WWII stands several times, I found that I had too many lost troops due to breakage at the feet. I also spent too much time crawling about the floor looking for impromptu skydivers.<br /><br />That's why I figure I'm going to try the dremel this time.<br /><br />You're right, however: if I were planning only on making the one cut in the middle of the stand, I'd probably go with the wire-cutter route.<br /><br />I want to see if I can get the troops down to a more realistic frontage, however. If I can do that with adding only 5-10 minutes per regiment, it'd be great!.<br /><br />We'll see if that's feasible, however.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784390992211969614.post-37395348024779704202011-02-09T08:37:33.731-08:002011-02-09T08:37:33.731-08:00I was able to separate the command stand using a p...I was able to separate the command stand using a pair of side-cutters, despite the lack of notches. It's easier to do with the notches, but other than a couple of standard bearers who need to be re-attached to their feet (through a careless cut), it was pretty quick. My big tip is to make the cut with your free hand cupped around the stand, the little buggers fly off if you aren't careful!CJRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10030780615753744132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784390992211969614.post-69406164161037874262011-02-08T23:42:14.908-08:002011-02-08T23:42:14.908-08:00I dremeled some WWII stuff, too, Richard and you&#...I dremeled some WWII stuff, too, Richard and you're right: they heat up fast!

I found this when I used a dremel to cut apart some WW2 infantry, mortars, etc. Not a big deal when doing a couple, but a few packs becomes pretty wearing.<br /><br />But I'm Keen to see how it transpires! This scale for ACW intrigues me - I love it for WW2 gaming so I'm sure it'll be great for other periodsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431379655438708320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784390992211969614.post-30137162647381464332011-02-08T15:08:38.938-08:002011-02-08T15:08:38.938-08:00An amazing and in depth piece of work there, givin...An amazing and in depth piece of work there, giving a really professional set of possible solutions - has to be the definitive approach with the strips as they come - I think you should copyright it asap, before we all start copying it! <br />Just a shame you seem to be supporting those Liberty-hating Yankee Carpetbaggers, though!SteelonSandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231931971295669901noreply@blogger.com
