It's tough to beat a name like "Iron Brigade". They already start with 10 points in the "Hard" category.

True story! Why every serious ACW gamer gots to have one in their Union army (for me, it was the third brigade I painted)

Hi Colonel, Well, the Iron Brigade fought in the Eastern Theater but the soldiers came from WI, IN & MI. Looks to me like a win for the Western men;-)

I had ancestors in the 2nd, 6th, and 7th Wisconsin, so I'm almost obligated to have them well represented in my collection.

28mm, 10mm, 6mm so far, and soon to be 18mm.

Wilder's Lightning Brigade, for me. And their battlefield performance lives up to their name.
