Epic Battles: ACW Union Brigade

Epic Battles: ACW Union BrigadeDescription: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The most basic infantry building block was the infantry regiment (referred to as a “battalion in Hardee’s drill manual which was used by both sides). In both North and South the infantry regiments were organized on similar lines. A regiment typically comprised ten companies each numbe... morering 100 men supported by staff drummers and officers. However the rigors of warfare would summarily lead to a reduction in strength by way of battle disease and desertion and a regiment's numbers could vary wildly. The states of the north had a tendency to allow regiments to fall below an effective level to a point where a number of such regiments would be forged into a brand-new formation. This sometimes had a detrimental effect as units lost their identities and their associated fighting spirit. The most common identifier for a regiment was a number and the State in which they were raised – for example the “15th Alabama or the “4th Connecticut. This box contains enough miniatures to make: Three Regiments (of 100 men each) Three Cannons and Three Mounted Commanders.
