Altar of Freedom

My interest in the ACW goes back to my very first Airfix figures.  I have a fairly large 28mm collection but as my gaming table is limited I was looking for something in a smaller scale.

Last year I bought the  Altar of Freedom rules and over the last few weeks I have been adding to my 10mm AOF collection. I have been basing the figures with between 12 and 14 figures per brigade base. The figures are mostly Blaze Away with a few of the old Pendrakens mixed in to add variety. I have also done a few head swaps.


I have also being making fences and trees. I need to get some more tree armatures as I am going to need a lot more trees. 



I have another 6 brigades on the go and just need to paint the command to finish them off. I also have 4 command bases undercoated.

Lovely little toys Mark…

I thought they were 15mm when I first saw the pictures…

All the best. Aly

Nice work Mark! I have a copy of Altar of Freedom and I will be interested to see how you get on playing with them.

Looking good Mark. What miniatures are these? I am apparently over-looking the scale somewhere, but clearly Aly figured it out. Of course he is a good deal brighter than most of us...

They are a change from doing classic tidy Napoleonics. I use my scruffy technique on these small ACW chaps.

I am not sure if I can play them solo as the bidding system really needs 2 or more people. I am however hoping to try a game with 4 players using my 28mm ACW collection on a larger table.
