Fire & Maneuver: ACW Confederate Cavalry

My latest unit for Fire & Maneuver is a regiment of Confederate cavalry. This fine unit uses 28mm metal figures by Redoubt Enterprises and was painted mostly by Frank Patterson. I painted some of the horses and handled the basing.



Redoubt makes some very nice figures for the American Civil War. It is an extensive range with many unusual pieces, lots of excellent animation and variety with head and arm swaps. Their service is excellent. The flag is by GMB Designs.


I asked Frank to paint this as a "smart" mid-War regiment when CSA regulation uniforms were more available. They are armed with a variety of pistols, shotguns, rifles and carbines. I think they will serve well.
