Like you I was strongly taken with the ACW ones in the 1960s, and luckily picked up the AWI book cheaply about 7 years ago when I started on that period.<br />Chris GChris Gregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585623032053255569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538035190723791338.post-4715560820686517802014-10-14T05:02:58.451-07:002014-10-14T05:02:58.451-07:00I have the ACW book which inspired me when I was s...I have the ACW book which inspired me when I was still using plastic Airfix figures all those years ago , however I was unaware of the AWI pictures which are just as good , TonyThe Good Soldier Svjekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749564052124659180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538035190723791338.post-88719526145933751612014-10-13T11:36:28.520-07:002014-10-13T11:36:28.520-07:00For those who can get to the middle of nowhere (we...For those who can get to the middle of nowhere (western S. Carolina), Cowpens is an excellent place to visit--a great museum with a first-class staff, and a tremendous battlefield. It has been restored to closely resemble what it looked like during the battle, and has lots of excellent signs to tell you what was happening from that vantage point.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />Chris JohnsonChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091296131481416326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538035190723791338.post-18405715536832067992014-10-13T10:44:14.770-07:002014-10-13T10:44:14.770-07:00I, also, have been left with indelible recollectio...I, also, have been left with indelible recollections of the impact of those particular maps.

I often used my Airfix Civil War figures to refight the attack on Burnsides Bridge at Antietam based on the map. How many of the maps are there of the AWI? In one book I have they have the map of Trenton and Princeton. I might have to go on a search for the book if there are enough of the AWI maps.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.com
