"You know whats going to happen here in the morning? The whole **** reb army is going to be here. They'll move through this town, occupy these hills on the other side and when our people get here Lee will have the high ground. There will be the devil to pay! The high ground! Meade will come in slowly, cautiously. New to command. They'll be on his back in Washington. Wire hot with messages 'Attack! Attack!'. So he will set up a ring around these hills. And when Lee's army is nicely entrenched behind fat rocks on the high ground, Meade will finally attack, if he can coordinate the army. Straight up the hillside, out in the open, in that gorgeous field of fire. We will charge valiantly... and be butchered valiantly! And afterwards men in tall hats and gold watch fobs will thump their chest and say what a brave charge it was. Devin, I've led a soldier's life, and I've never seen anything as brutally clear as this."
There are some very memorable scenes in the film Gettysburg, and some amazing pictures - Buford - above summing up the coming fight is one of those scenes, It makes the ahiors on my arms stand up just thinking about it.
The best though is Little Round Top with Jeff Daniels as Chambelain.
My only complaint is the flag, I understand that not everyone prints out their own flags or buy paper flags, but I'd rather see flag poles only on both cavalry and infantry figures. Cutting the plastic flag does not always get good results.
It's good though that the guidon bearer and some other poses are not looking to the sides but actually forward
LOL! Good one Alan!
These look FANTASTIC! Hope a lot will be available because I am going to be buying a lot! Finally, a great set of dismounted Union Cavalry! Buford's troopers finally get their due in plastic! I can't wait for those Rebs to come marching down that road now!
Same for me Will. I thought that I had "enough" ACW figures until I saw these beauties... and the other three sets that are coming through!
Lovely, fine looking figures Strelets!
