Union Brigade American Civil War Plastic Model Kit

The infantry regiment, known as a "battalion" in Hardee's drill manual used by both the North and the South, was the most fundamental building block of infantry units during the American Civil War. Each regiment typically consisted of ten companies, each with 100 men, along with staff, drummers, and officers. However, the harsh realities of war often led to a decline in numbers due to battle casualties, disease, and desertion, resulting in fluctuating regiment sizes.

In the North, regiments were sometimes allowed to fall below effective levels, leading to the merging of multiple regiments into new formations. This practice could have a negative impact as units lost their distinct identities and morale. Regiments were most commonly identified by a number and the state where they were raised, such as the "15th Alabama" or the "4th Connecticut."

This set includes miniatures to create three regiments, each consisting of 100 men, three cannons, and three mounted commanders. Black Powder, a popular game by Warlord Games, allows players to experience epic battles from the American Civil War, a pivotal period in American history when the Union and the Confederacy fought across states from 1861 to 1865.

Black Powder - Epic Battles is based on the award-winning Black Powder Rules, with added period-specific tweaks and scenarios tailored for the American Civil War setting. Engage in historical reenactments using 15mm figures and game rules provided by Warlord Games against opponents.

Designed for large tabletops like a pool table, Black Powder is perfect for multiplayer games with any number of players. Players should have a measuring tape on hand as it is not included in the set. Enjoy the process of building, painting, and playing with the models, as the satisfaction of bringing them to life adds to the enjoyment of the game itself.
