Taking the Plunge

Well, I've gone and done it and put my money down.

I've ordered a  two-gun Confederate Battery - with limbers, 10 crew and a mounted officer and 24 Union infantry and 3 command figures (an officer, a drummer and a standard bearer) from Spencer Smith. Not Spencer Smith miniatures, but the Stadden 25s which I really like the look of. The artillery are 30mm models, so we'll see how they go.

The guns themselves look very interesting - they seem to be Whitworth12-pounders with very neat limbers. I'm looking forward to getting them.

More this evening.
