    Great stuff. I remember using these figures for ACW as well as fighting off the Arab hordes. Never painted them so they could be used for any "Blue" army.

    That's a simple but very effective set-up. The colours all work together brilliantly.

    Timely post two days after Cinco de Mayo. The Legion remembers Camerone.

    But mine were Civil War Zouaves.
