There's quite a few this month, mostly early ACW packs, which makes a nice change.

With the 150th anniversary coming up, we decided to acknowledge this by making some special packs for the first year of the war. The following are just the start, there will be more. The early Federal militia represent what the 6th Regt. Massachusetts Volunteer Militia wore at the Baltimore riots on April 19th, 1861, but could cover other early militia. The NY Fire Zouaves are in their second uniform, not the first as stated in Wargames Illustrated (my slip-up, not theirs). The rioters were fun to make and could, I'm sure, be used for quite a few scenarios.

I've eventually got round to making the 52nd foot command, I'm sure some will be relieved to see. I thought the Light 'bobs' carrying their caps would make a change from the norm. They did this at times when doubling their pace.
