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

Current availability of these sets is in Question

Gordon and Hague - 15mm Confederate Brigade

Box Art
 As with their Union 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.

In this Union set you get more figures in kepis, in the Confederate set you get a greater number in slouch hats.
The same notes apply regarding regimental sizes that an be created with this set as applied to the Confederate set. If you do opt for a larger regimental size, it would free up some infantry officers who could supplement the artillery crews, that are very short in numbers in both sets.

The Confederate Brigade Box Set contains the following items:

20 Infantry with kepis advancing
50 infantry with slough hats 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

2 artillery guns
20 pre-textured infantry movement trays

Gordon and Hague

Current status of this company and the availability of their sets is in Question

Gordon and Hague are a new miniatures manufacturer from the USA. They are entering the still fresh 15mm plastics arena with ACW miniatures as their initial releases were released in March 2013, the figures are designed to go with their ACW wargames rules system - 'Severed Union', these rules can be downloaded for free from their website.

The companies main selling point is that they will be supplying the figures pre-painted, in sets designed to complement their in house ACW game system noted above. As such the figures will not be cheap, but you will be saved the effort of getting out the paintbrush!

The company has plans to branch out to other periods such as WW1, Napoleonics, the American War of Independence and the Anglo-Zulu Wars.
