Confederate Infantry Skirmishing
Publisher: Billy Bones Workshop
In the above picture, the skirmishers in this set are shown in front of the CSA Infantry in Line set (PB3.21).
This set for Paper Battles: American Civil War depicts Confederate infantry in skirmish poses.
The ACW set is stylized to be evocative of the period – in this case, blurry 19th Century sepia photographs.
As with all PB:ACW sets, both small scale (figure height approximately 10-15mm) and large scale (figure height approximately 20-25mm) are included. I have tried to include a variety of ways to depict skirmishers, so you can choose your own style in your games – there are individual figures, clusters of figures, and standard rectangular (40mm x 20mm and 60mm x 30mm) bases, if you don't want to do a lot of fiddly cutting. If you do, then there is also the option of mounting individual figures onto bare ground bases (which are also included).
Please note there is no scenery in this set – the scenery in the pictures is work in progress, and will be released in a future set.
Above: Individual figures mounted on bare rectangular bases – another option.
Above: The standard rectangular PB:ACW skirmish bases, cut into more irregular shapes – another way of using them in your games, if you don't fancy using the individual figures to show a skirmish line.
Above: Individual figures also included in this set. The smaller scale (approximately 10-15mm) may be a bit fiddly to make, though…
There are eight PDF files, all designed to print on both U.S. Letter and International A4 paper using Adobe Reader. To ensure they print at the correct size, you must choose your paper size, and then select "Actual Size" from the "Page Sizing and Handling" section of Adobe Reader's print menu.
The construction of the pieces in this set is similar to the English Civil War set.
