From PaulSS: American Civil War Confederates (Caprica) - 142 points

I was trying to get my painting desk cleared before I started the challenge so I'm rather tardy for my first entry, but, I'm finally there.

Two small 12-man units of Confederates, I've been enjoying the Pickett's Charge rules of late so as well as rebasing the entire existing collection (yes Ken I know!) I wanted to add a few more units so I can get up to four or five brigades per side.

Of course as soon as I started painting I realised that I'd forgotten to order any standards, so an order from Flags of War is on it's way, but in the meanwhile I added some Warflag ones for these two units, will I get around to replacing them, likely not!, but all the new units I'll be adding during the challenge will be getting Warflag ones.

Both units are made up from the Perry Miniatures American Civil War Confederate Infantry 1861-65 but as I'm making multiple smaller units I also bought some additional Confederate Command frames.

I think that the Doomed theme for Caprica likely fits them well, they lost the war and under my generalship that will be doubly so, losing the war and losing the battles! 

A twenty four 28mm figures, a couple of flags and the location bonus should start me off with 142 points on the board.

Welcome back to the Challenge, Paul!

What a wonderful looking unit of Confederates. I've always enjoyed your brush style Paul, so smooth and precise, really beautiful work. But rebasing? Ugh. Many of us feel your pain. I hope it goes quickly and without too many mishaps. The good news is that it's all for an excellent set of rules, as 'Pickett's Charge' just oozes period feel and has a lot of cool mechanics. I look forward to the upcoming units with the more snazy colours. 

Lovely work Paul.
