Mr Toombs Georgians
Mr Robert Augustus Toombs moved from his lawyer job in Georgia to serve as a notable orator in the US senate before eventually joining the fledgling Confederacy. He was hoping for high office in the Confederate government but it appears his hard drinking went against him . The appointment of Jeff Davis as President convinced him to join the army and it was as a Brigadier-General he found himself at Antietam.
My chap is going to require a shave I think.
I personally have found the Stretlets offerings to be most useful especially when they are mixed up a bit.
Whilst some flash is annoying and tricky to remove the effort to make the figure’s faces personalised is in my opinion a triumph.
The skirmish set is a case in point and I have created a unit that will be ideal in defending the Rhorbach bridge ( now Burnsides bridge) in my re-fight.
Many thanks to Mr Bessiere for the shoe-less rebel idea.
Many poor souls had no or worn footwear which contributed to an epidemic of straggling. Indeed it is estimated that six thousand stragglers swelled Lee’s Army the day after the battle.
I had toyed with the idea of swapping some Zulu feet but I feel that in 20mm the reward will not be commensurate with the effort.
Starting to get there.
Chris
