The original plan for my 15mm ACW project was to collect a force large enough to play against my friend Stewart's Union Brigades using the Regimental Fire & Fury rules set. In these rules, should your games end up being played at a Divisional level, then one requires a Divisional HQ base to represent your high ranking commanders who are making all of the big decisions.
Whilst I'm still a L-O-N-G way away from being able to play a game at that level with painted troops, I thought that this weekend I'd put together and paint up a Div HQ base so that I'd at least have one ready and also to break up the horrid monotony of batch painting CSA infantry!

| Major General Muntjack and personal staff survey the battlefield. Mounted, Louisiana Brigadier General Pomme Frites attempts to get the Division Commander's attention, pointing to something obviously important stage left. Unfortunately Muntjack's attention is taken by Colonel Sylvester's gesticulations indicating action down the battlefield. |

| Colour Sergeant Muntjack nephew to the Major General bears the Bars and Stars. |
 |
| Obligatory horses bum shot. |
 |
| My 2nd Infantry regiment is next on the table. These guys are ready for basing. Highlights will be applied after I've got the whole regiment up to this standard and based. |
 |
| The remainder of the regiment. I'm cheating and using the grey primer as base colour for their trousers. Yep, lazy. |
 |
| Three more regiments of infantry waiting their turn.... Ugh... and another on it's way in the post as yours truly couldn't pass up the chance to pick up a super cheap Zouaves regiment on Ebay. |
I'm hoping the 2nd regiment will be done by Sunday afternoon as Stewart and I are to play our first game of Longstreet. I'll post up an AAR Monday or so.
