I missed Pro or Con this year too, figures. I did want to go, but am busy. Sounds like you all had a good time. Don't know if I will buy any ACW minis again,...
Over all Chris it is in real nice shape. Caked up with sand and mud it is preserved well. I think it was the sand that helped keep it that way for water...
Hi, Yeah, you lucked-out!!! If their is mud around it, then it probably contains clay, and a large clay content in the mud would stop the water. Many things...
I'm trying to get an idea of about how many figures I'm going to need to finish so I can at least get started playing, while expanding my armies for larger...
Unfortunatley there are no decent hobby stores for wargamers around here anymore... (RIP Breastplate Hobbies) -- any ideas where I can find JR3 online?...

Does Osprey have a book? I used to have a couple in the US and they have been lost in the move. Randy ... From: Peter Griffith To: jriii@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Osprey prints many Civil War uniform books, but the accuracy of the information in Osprey uniform books is often questionable. Over all, I imagine that Peter...
What you were saying Dean about patching and mending uniforms and using whatever was at hand for replacements including captured clothing was the norm. Same in...
Dean you are so right in many aspects of what is printed here. The AOT in itself is a animal of a different color when it comes to uniform issuance. That...
Dave thanks for the imput here but I must say you are dead wrong on the catch as catch can. At the end of the war there where greater stock piles of uniforms...
When the Confed. Army surrendered in the Carolinas, some units were equipped with new uniforms and others were in old worn uniforms. What was it, something...
Chris, With all due respect to you this is the reason why I wanted to do a good booklet on the subject. The majority of what you have written while in some...
Okay here is what happened. Gov. Vance of NC took over a large shipment of uniforms headed for Richmond via sea transport. He put them in NC warehouses and...

I know most of Johnson's Army was fairly well clothed, and that is what I said. I have also read of a few units in Johnson's Army at the time of its surrender...
