Yee Haa-Confederate Cavlary Advance

Horse Soldiers of the Army of the Tennesse advance on Union forces. A 12 pdr horse artillery piece gives close support. These are 15mm miniatures from the old Heritage Co. The trooper in the brown coat and black hat in the third photo, the one with the black beard, for fun is a likeness of me. I painted these in the 1980's.

Finis










She is finally finished. Here are shots of the house before and after a shell hit. I got the idea for this project from a World War One photo. The picture showed a very nice house that from the front looked very normal. Then a rear shot showed the massive destruction caused be a large artillery round. It was a fun project and makes an interesting addition to my village.
