Gordon and Hague - 15mm Union Brigade

Box Art
As with their Confederate Brigade boxed set, Gordon and Hague's primary offering is a mixed set of Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery.

The figures in both Union and Confederate sets are the same, just the ratios of figure types being varied.

Figures should allow for the creation of 5 x 16 model Infantry regiments, 1 x 6 model Cavalry Regiment and 2 x Artillery sections.

In reality these numbers are a little short for 15mm games, where the infantry regimental size might more likely be 24 and cavalry more likely 12 models. Additionally a typical Artillery piece might be served by 3 or 4 figures on the table top, rather than just two.

The Union Brigade Box Set contains the following items:

20 Infantry with slouch hats advancing
50 infantry with kepis advancing
5 infantry captains
4 artillery crewmen
5 infantrymen with flagpoles
5 cavalry riders with swords
1 cavalry rider with flag pole
1 Mounted Officer
7 horses
2 artillery guns
20 pre-textured infantry movement trays
3 pre-textured cavalry movement trays
2 pre-textured artillery movement tray
1 pre-textured officer movement tray
