Sorting through and rambling on about the 28mm Confederate army

[@MrPiotrowicz]

I'm a simple man. I see VK's video on ACW, I click thumbs up. Funnily enough I just painted my first regiment from Texas. They look outstanding.

[@vonketteringham]

Thanks Mate 👍

[@asgaard636]

There are some GEMS in the Connoisseur range that have held up very well.....The artillery officer in the dragoon boots and plumed hat looking through binoculars is a pip! I have him in the Staunton (Virginia) Horse Battery!!

[@vonketteringham]

Be good to see your collection 👍

[@MrSuperchippy74]

Great stuff Frazer, I love organising the troops😁 AR is Arkansas and I'm fairly sure there was an Arkansas regt in the Texas brigade along with 3 Texas regts, at Gettysburg anyway

[@vonketteringham]

You're right Owain! Hope all is well with you and the family 👍

[@johnhart7704]

Thanks for the ramble . I seem to spend more time organising figures than playing with them .

[@vonketteringham]

I think that sounds about right!

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Really enjoyed thd ramble it's always nice to sort out the figures

[@vonketteringham]

Cheers Justin 👍

[@normanwood1994]

Getting out the figs and sorting out the army is just so relaxing and enjoyable.

[@vonketteringham]

One concurs!

[@mcnab4236]

Wonderful collection mate 👍

[@vonketteringham]

Many thanks 👍

[@johnmclennan7425]

Probably Arkansas, as Arizona didn't become a state until many years after the war. ;-)

[@vonketteringham]

Ah!🙂

[@kitswithkaren5003]

Very impressive I must say looking v good.Another highly entertaining and enjoyable video.With the troops your mate has the gaming table must look very impressive.🐻🤗🐒👍

[@vonketteringham]

Getting there!

[@BattleBunkerHQ]

Nice collection Frazer. I was doing the same as you the other day with our Union, it’s great to sit and look at your work and let your mind wander. I look forward to seeing the terrain when it’s done.

[@vonketteringham]

Thanks Mate 👍

[@SolventAbuseUk]

Quite a relaxing watch after a day on a kanga got to love the rebs lots of character looks like a nice force bro have fun on sunday

[@vonketteringham]

Thanks mark, collection is building nicely 👍

[@basement1908]

Love it! Keep it up Brother! Have a great weekend 👍

[@vonketteringham]

Many thanks 👍

[@markhartridge4379]

Thanks Frazer. If you are thinking about Gettysburg scenarios you may be interested in 'Summer Storm' by Brad Butkovich and published by Historic Imagination (apologies if you already have it). I know it's not hard to design your own scenarios, but the maps and orders of battle are good and I always appreciate looking at how others rate the quality of the various regiments. Of course day 1 scenarios probably means coming up with a terrain solution for the various 'railroad cuts'!

[@vonketteringham]

Just ordered! Thanks for the tip👍

[@leont66wargaming31]

Really enjoyed that ramble mate. Nice watching your thoughts and sorting through the army. Looking forward to seeing how the rocky outcrops turn out. I’m back painting ACW again. It’s all your fault hahaha.

[@vonketteringham]

Cheers Leon 👍

[@hamsteronthepaintingtable6465]

[@vonketteringham]

Thanks Mate 👍

[@wc9109]

A fine collection

[@vonketteringham]

Thanks Mate 👍

[@e-4airman124]

thank you just bought a box of these

[@vonketteringham]

The top of the slippery slope!🙂

[@michaelholgate8849]

Nothing better than a stocktake!

[@vonketteringham]

Got to be done occasionally Michael 🙂

[@bearcub460]

No close ups? 😂

[@vonketteringham]

See previous vids, didn't want to get too samey 🙂

[@stevenlawther4750]

Just to let you know it was based on Hoods division from Fredricksburg the other unit in the Texas brigde was the 3rd Arkansis

[@vonketteringham]

Now why didn't I think of asking you!🤔

[@tinshedgames9310]

Have you checked out Simon and Micks, Civil war game for this year's Partizan?

[@vonketteringham]

Not yet, will have a look 👍

[@nordicmaelstrom4714]

You could go with the 1st, 4th, 5th Texas and 3rd Arkansas which formed Robertson's brigade of Hoods division at Gettysburg. Those three Texas regiments were the only ones in the Army of Northern Virginia at Gettysburg. ARK is Arkansas because Arizona wasn't a state at that time.

[@vonketteringham]

Thanks for the info, appreciated 👍

[@nordicmaelstrom4714]

@@vonketteringham ACW is one of my specialties so if you have any questions please feel free to ask. I am always happy to part with information!

[@frankdoyle3716]

How long did it take to assemble and paint that collection. Fantastic!

[@vonketteringham]

Thankfully I inherited the majority of the collection after swapping my viking army. 👍

[@BrushQuill]

A nice "little" collection there VK, hope the game went well.

[@vonketteringham]

Was a good game Cal👍

[@rcspaintserviceandgaming]

I normally use 45mm bases, but seems to have bought 40mm bases and now have some regiments on 40mm bases. What is the best way to replace the bases?

[@vonketteringham]

Will leave the bases as is. The frontage of 7 bases is pretty close to the Union regiments I have so isn't an issue with the Black Powder rules.

[@rcspaintserviceandgaming]

No skirmishers?

[@vonketteringham]

Still to be done 👍

[@holydiver539]

A swap for the vikings Looks like your friend wasn't a slouch on his confederate project. AR is Arkansas AZ is Arizona

[@vonketteringham]

Ah, we never stop learning!
