My 28mm ACW project for 2018: After finishing my Union Division (1st Division, VI Corps at Gettysburg) I switched focus to the Cofederate side. I am working on Gordon's Georgia Brigade (Gettysburg) – here are some finished units and those who still need basing done. I painted up 90+ infantry and gunners so far in April My plan is to finish up the brigade, then switch back to the VI Corps 2nd Division. I plan to have the Corps done by summer and at least 2 Southern brigades. In August Lone Star Historical Miniatures (LSHM) club will hold its summer Muster where we plan to play a big Fire&Fury Regimental game. The majority of the collection is Old Glory and Sash & Saber 28mm: Some pictures from today's workbench – just over 90 figures ready for basing. I completed a number of these while traveling – good use of early morning hours in the hotel room!!

Very Nice! Love those Georgia boys! John Brown Gordon; link When John Brown Gordon died in 1904, President Theodore Roosevelt said of him, "A more gallant, generous, and fearless gentleman and soldier has not been seen by our country."

Nice Skip – thanks for the link. My connection / draw to Gordon is because as retired Army Signal Corps I did all my training at Fort Gordon GA – what better way to build a Confederate force to fight my Union troops. Next up is a Union Zuoave regiment!!!

Gordon… I think the only other commander that left more of himself on the battlefields was Hood…
