The Independent Wargames Group. Being a Journal of views, prejudices, ideas and photographs of wargaming not just nationwide, but hopefully world wide. The name IWG was adopted in the early 1980's in response to the then dominant Wargames Research Group, but things have moved on, and wargaming appears to be in somewhat of a Golden Age, so sit back and hopefully enjoy my rantings.

Wonderful additions to your forces Robbie (love the mix of Standing and lying positions), and a great job on the bases as well...
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil,
DeleteI know uniforms were pretty drab in the ACW, but I like to exaggerate the colours, to make them stand out. Not accurate but pleasing to the eye. I hope.
Superb looking Mississippi brigade, Robbie. Those Foundry sculpts are quite animated and full of motion. The colorful regiment appears to have helped itself to a Federal depot holding Yankee greatcoats. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan,
DeleteI opted to paint units that fought in the early part of the war, they were still naively decking themselves in uniforms not fit for purpose. Well thats what I tell myself.
very nice too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul,
DeleteYour Malburian project is continuing, which is great to see. When do you think you will have enough. Daft question really.
They look superb
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil,
Deletethats very kind.
Very colourful
ReplyDeleteThanks Colin,
DeleteIts a pain super gluing arms, but they are still a great figure to use.
Robbie, The regiment of Mississippians is probably my favourite unit you have showcased on your blog, the regiment as a whole looks so 'active', great figures and paint job again. Also I had a trial game of the Pickets Charge rules with my dad last weekend and like yourself I really enjoyed them once I got the basics game mechanics into my head, I liked the twists to the game, ie see the elephant test and serendipity test really added fun to the game, well having said that as a result of the 'dipity' test I saw my brigade of 'old lags' quickly abandon their position of holding my left flank and leg it quick time!!
ReplyDeleteGreat Figs Robbie.
DeleteBetween our Two Groups we must have enough for a Big ACW bash will it ever happen?.
Well we are off to Falkirk tomorrow always a good Weekend for us see you
Brian.
Neil,
DeleteI may have to change the flags, because I can actually get the correct standards for Barksdale's brigade, which were a crack group of regiments. The equal of the Texans. As for Picketts Charge, they work well dont they. Nothing can be taken for granted.
Brian,
DeleteDont overdo the drinking, and keep John out of Poundstretchers,otherwise he will be bringing back some new plastic soldiers.As for a big bash. I dont think Ive seen your armies on the blog and would John accept different rules. You know he can only cheat with his own efforts..
A really nice regiment Robbie, well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, hopefully I can see the finish line and actually get to grips with them.
DeleteAnother lovely ACW unit you've knocked out, I like the slightly exaggerated colours, they work really well.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Iain,
DeleteI cant help myself with the colours. It seemed a drab war , but light blue and grey does look well when lightened.
