I’ve started cleaning up the ACW collection and while doing so was suitably impressed with the cavalry collection, so much so I wanted to share them with you.

We have over three thousand infantry figures, over two hundred cavalry and two hundred artillery including gun pieces. The whole collection is superbly painted and based, to a very high standard. I wanted to start here with the cavalry. I have always loved the look of the cavalry uniforms of the American Civil War, particularly the early war, as later on the Confederacy became a little less uniform.

Here at the Wargames Holiday Centre we have an amazing variety of manufacturer ranges, there are several regiments of dismounted cavalry as well as several mounted regiments of both the protagonists.

Our preferred set of rules is Fire & Fury, they seem to reflect the period very well and given the number of figures we have at our disposal we can field all the major battles of the period.

The battles offered over the coming year feature the East and West theatre. The first being Gettysburg, then Chancellorsville and Shiloh.

I’ve uploaded additional photos of the ACW cavalry on to our Gallery, take a look.
