Is there supposed to be a "None of These" option? |

I would have thought so, Flashman. I went with "other" for now, and I'll switch later. |

If you have enough figures, can't you field any/all of them? |

79th, if you have enough figures, you can field all of anything. But why bother? The uniforms aren't that distinctive--if they're distinctive at all--and I can't remember any instance of an ACW "legion" actually fighting as a mixed-arms unit. That moves them so far from my Loyal Lusitanian Legion or my Black Legion of Vengeance that I can't really take them seriously. If a legion isn't a miniature army capable of fighting a small battle, or at the very least an eye-catching uniform and a legend, what exactly is it? |

I think of "Legion" in AWI terms. As above, mixed troop types in one "unit".
In the ACW, the term was just a name. Were Great War Grenadier Guards really grenadiers? In fact, were AWI Grenadiers really grenadiers? Did they throw grenades? |
