I'm working on a Little Bighorn diorama and need to come up with a way of basing sets of 4 held horses.

"In reading the history of warfare, we typically read that General X met General Y on the battlefield, X won, Y retreated, then they met again on another battlefield, and so on. Then we come to a war where the balance of power is described in terms of who has the most miles of telegraph line and railroad, and who has the most steel foundries and rolling mills. That war is the U.S. Civil War. In many ways it was the first truly modern war that depended on heavy industry, rapid transportation, and telecommunications for its conduct.

I've often purchased metal bases from 'Wargame Accessories' link and found them very reliable for postal orders. The metal bases are thin (but sturdy) and when I quickly checked they have the size (1" by 2") you desire: packets of 24 for US$6 plus postage but not that the minimum order is $15. USD |

Quaama, Thank you. I actually found some of these on ebay (since I didn't need $15 USD worth of them) and have them on order. Again, thanks. |
